Nothing in America makes sense, until you look at the world through the lense of Christianity. The denomination who believes existence should be agony without any form of pleasure of any type. (Lutherans? I can't remember the name.)
Then suddenly, everything falls into place. Low wages, excessive cost of living, the way your boss gloats about tax dodging and wage theft. We've been force fed propaganda through every medium available for generations, to the point where the general public pushes against their own best interests, because it's what we've been told is the only way.
The low-level owner class has an engrained core belief that causing suffering brings people closer to god, and helping people causes hedonism and puts people in hell, and the uneducated class that worships them agrees.
The Calvinists I believe are more in that vein.
