ELI5: Why do people, in general, get progressively more right wing as they get older?

Because when you are younger, everything is theoretical.  It is easy to condemn the rich or successful business owners when you don't know any.  It's also easier to argue for distribution of wealth when you don't have any.  People in general look out for the class they are in, and their friends are in.  In general people are poorer when they are younger and acquire more wealth as they get older.
