    They thought they got more conservative as they got older, turns out they just got more conservative as they got richer.

      I got older and richer, and I’m still just as socialist as I was then. Perhaps moreso, even.

      I think the idea is that they have more wealth, and are terrified of losing that wealth. It comes down to greed and fear of change, rather than the actual amount of wealth itself.
