That's where their focus lies, not necessarily where their interests do.

It's in everyone's interest to get a good deal for their money. For example, we should all be for an efficient government, and efficient markets. However folks vote against those all the time without thinking about it, because their focus is elsewhere.

No it isn't!

If you don't care about money, and only care about telling other people what to do - money isn't your interest. Telling other people what they can and can't do is your interest.

You seem to be incapable of grasping that other people care about other things than money.
