There are two things at play here.

First is the wishful thinking, that democracy, especially representative
democracy makes any change to the second.

The second is the fact, observed over millennia that rich people get
richer on the backs of the poorer people. (*) This only changes when
lots of blood is shed in a "revolution", where the ratio between "rich
people blood" and "poor people blood" being shed is very
disproportionate. And never in the "right" direction.

It is very understandable, that most "poor" people would prefer to keep
their life, even if not democratically represented according to the
theory or promises.

(*) There is also the bonus theory that feudalism has never ever gone
away. That would then explain much easier why all this tax reduction
stuff happens, without involving democracy in the discussion at all. And
no name calling :)
