comes from the very fact you have described only people do not usually recognize this. The small business person, individuals caught breaking laws, such as environmental ones, are treated harshly. That makes them resentful of regulations and they vent their anger and vote Republican.
Meanwhile the huge polluters and workplace law breakers get away with murder. The little guy does all the voting and yelling to turn the population against the government and its rules. They believe the Republicans will free them from having to follow "silly" rules not really figuring that the Masseys and BP's could care less about their lives.
