They are whipped up into a frenzy by RW radio and all the RW talking heads. They've clearly scapegoated all the Democrats, making them resposible for everything that's gone wrong. As if they Repubs have not been in charge all of these years!

This is not an economically depressed area. Their concerns are taxes, gas prices (this is a commuter area), and their investments. Housing is stable here.

They've got theirs and don't want to give a red cent to anybody else. But oh by the way, keep those Social Security and Medicare payments coming!
