Did Appalachians vote their economic interests?

[TDAS04]

Lower-income Appalachians who voted for Trump did not vote their economic interests, though it's possible that many thought they were.  (Wait until Trump takes away Obamacare, but even that probably won't wing them back to the Democrats too quickly).

One reason why many people who aren't rich vote Republican is because Republicans have convinced large portions of the American public that taxing the rich will hurt everyone, and that cutting taxes for the wealthy will help lower-income people too ("trickle down" theory).  My state is full of people who think like that; I'm not entirely sure how Appalachians feel about taxing the wealthy these days, though.
