I just read a very interesting post on The Reform Club blog:
The Reform Club: Democrats: Tax Parasites
My opinion is that people who are carrying the largest majority of the tax burden tend to be most interested in the candidate that wants to lower taxes. Then people who aren't paying taxes or are paying much smaller percentages tend to not be as concerned about the tax rates.
Then, the people who have the most to gain from social programs tend to follow the candidate who is promising the most free money. Again this tends to go against the people who are paying the taxes because whether politicians want to admit it or not the someone has to pay the bill.
Those concepts probably better define the difference in the red and blue states.

Cheers, Nidsu.
Maybe you can check back with us in the comments section of my post and tell us "what's the matter with Kansas," since you seem to live there.
For Democrats, I think things are largely materialistic, because that's their worldview, but for Republicans, it's not all about tax policy.
