Uh, most white people don't benefit from them either. I'm a white male and they've done pretty much nothing to help me.
They fight for the interests of big business. That is the only group of people the republicans stand up for.
Of course there is a reason for GOP support. Where would America be today without modern industrialism ... jobs are what people want and many of them are created by "big business" which is far better than BIG GOVT. Limited govt is better for job creation unless we want everyone working for the USA Inc.
The best part of the Industrial Revolution is that it opened an age of mass production for the needs of everyone. The workers are no longer people grinding merely for other people's comfort/prosperity. They [employees] are the main consumers of the products mfg by the factories. Big biz depends upon volume consumption. Today, there's not one branch of big business that wouldn't cater to the wants and needs of the masses.
The purpose of capitalist entrepreneurship is to provide for the common man.... and the common man as consumer controls whose buying or not buying which determines the fate of small and big business. There is [in the market economy] no other way of acquiring and keeping wealth than by supplying the masses in the best and cheapest way with all the goods they want. Govt cannot do this and needs to stay the fuck away from it...
