Although there are, COMPARATIVELY, a lot of wealthy people who live in Williamson County, even there, there's still more of us than them.

The thing about Williamson County is that the people who move there who are NOT wealthy, are the ones who think they WILL be wealthy "one day". So they vote against their economic interests TODAY because they THINK it'll be in their interests when they DO become wealthy. It's that stupid Haratio Alger fantasy, but it carries a lot of weight in Williamson County.

An anecdotal example is a former drummer buddy of mine who moved from a house in Nashville to a TRAILER PARK just so he could have a "Franklin" address. Poor as a church mouse, but he was sure he would be rich one day. And of course, he was a rabid RWer. I used to tell him what I told EVERYBODY who has this stupid fantasy, i.e., VOTE for your PRESENT economic interest. When you get rich, THEN you can vote like a rich guy.
