>. There's another piece of data that needs to be spread . . . the richest 85 or the top-1% are mostly liberal Democrats! Are they now? forbes.com First off, more than half aren't American. Of the Americans in the Top 50 (I'd do more, but I'm running out of time): Bill Gates: campaignmoney.com -- about half Democrat and half Republican Warren Buffett: Democrat Larry Ellison: businessinsider.com -- About 50-50 David Koch: Republican Charles Koch: Republican Christy Walton: Republican Michael Bloomberg: Independent, Third Way Jim Walton: Republican Sheldon Adelson: Republican Alice Walton: Republican S. Robson Walton: Republican Jeff Bezos: en.wikipedia.org -- Mostly Democrat Larry Page & Sergei Brin: followthemoney.org -- Don't really donate to politicians, but are for gay marriage and protecting the environment -- So we'll put them in the "liberal" column if you'd like. Carl Icahn -- Republican George Soros -- Democrat Forrest Mars: Republican Jacqueline Mars: Republican John Mars: Republican Len Blavatnik: forbes.com -- About 3/4 Republican Michael Dell: en.wikipedia.org -- Gave $250K to Bush, but I'm guessing he's politically agnostic So, no, you appear to be wrong. -Z
