Believe me, I have struggled with this. Why is it more important that we vote based on our financial/class standing in the society over social issue?

I don't have a great answer to the question. I hope you all can help me flesh things out. I know that in political science classes this is the definition they teach, that liberal vs conservative is based on money/resourse issues. And, I do believe that moeny is the central issue in this country - always has been, always will be. We are always free to vote for whatever reason. Mainly, like GW, I'm going with my gut here. But, do think it works better if we go back to FDR era definitions.
