It's a FASCINATING chart, KK. It's SO amazing to see how inversely correlated it is to political affiliation. It's a constant refrain that the GOP has convinced many folks to vote against their own self interest -- it appears that the Dems/King County have done so as well...

My guess is that everyone likes to feel like they're heroic in one way or another... Either by saving others (Dems) or by being able to subsist ENTIRELY without the support of anyone else (GOP). Both are lies.
