But converted to U.S. funds and voted anyway.

I am not really surprised by this. During the Canadian election, the Conservative candidate (equivalent to Republican, more or less) was pushing a tax cut. I looked up his proposal and compared it to census data (taxfiler) and discovered, not surprisingly, that about 80% of the cut would have went to about 20% of the population (the richest, of course). Low to lower middle class would have gotten nothing or very little. But, most people don't realize these things.
