Historically, people have become more conservative, not as they age, but as they become more financially secure, own their own home, and want to keep more of the fruits of their labour.

That's increasingly not happening, and we're not happy about it.

and want to keep more of the fruits of their labour

Most conservatives want to keep the fruits of other peoples labor.

Exactly. If you went to school for 16 years to become a neurosurgeon, I have no problem with your $500k salary. But a $1mil+ salary because you started a fast food chain where the employees make minimum wage? That's slavery.

"Fruits of their labor"

Well, fruits of exploitation of the global south that made your labor worth so much more than theirs.
