hat second, “rule following” motivation is more of a liberal trait – they believe more in government and try harder to stay within the lines, which leads to resentment of those who don’t. They pay their trolley fare, so why shouldn’t you?

These aren’t mutually exclusive, though, I think you’re missing some class analysis.

You’re forgetting the conservative Law and Order crowd where, especially in the context OP posted, it’s about the dang poors contributing their part to the trolley they personally sustain by doing the excel at the office they drive their car to (over the roads that just fall from the sky).

Which is how this agrees with cheating on taxes and the other laws. Obviously they have earned this freedom and so did everybody richer than them.
