Well yea? You don't think the increase in death rates of non-college educated 50-65 year olds has anything to do with their decrease in bargaining/purchasing power that has come from years of labor deregulation and slashing tax rates on upper incomes?
Incidence of smoking and volume of alcohol consumption has been steadily falling for decades. Are you now shifting arguments to other criteria in an attempt to justify your patronization? Do you also have a breakdown of how those 50-65 year olds have voted over time to establish even a correlation?
