There's a difference between high income workers (actors, musicians and athletes) and capitalists whose money comes off the labor of others. I greatly disagree. Jeff Bezos created Amazon, that's his. He makes money off his work and his idea. Musicians have people write write their music, edit their voice, put it together, make the beats and the background, then there's the recording studio, the people who make their album art etc. It's weird to frame it in a way that somehow Lil yachty is somehow more deserving of his money than Bezos or Cuckerberg. Keep in mind Cuckerberg actually built the original facebook website. ... Copied to Clipboard!

What? George Soros, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, just off the top of my head... Reconsider this: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/17/magazine/george-soros-democrat-open-society.html Asked if he would support Bernie Sanders if the Vermont senator won the Democratic nomination in 2020, Soros said it was too soon to say. He expressed displeasure with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, another possible candidate, over her role in ousting Al Franken from Congress: She was using #MeToo to promote herself. He said his main goal as a political activist was to see a return to bipartisanship, a surprising claim in light of his lavish support for the Democrats. It was the extremism of the Republican Party that had prompted him to become a major Democratic donor, he said; he wanted the Republican Party to reform itself into a more moderate party. He said he was not especially partisan himself: I dont particularly want to be a Democrat. He spoke of his respect for John McCain. He even said he would be inclined to give financial support to moderate Republicans like Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, although he quickly walked back that comment: I shouldnt say that. That would hurt them. And while the Republicans had made bipartisanship impossible, he didnt want to see the Democrats become more ideologically rigid and confrontational. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/08/the-politics-of-new-i-washington-post-i-owner-jeff-bezos/278385/ Bezos has also given to several candidates for office, predominantly Democrats. Democratic Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell of Washington have been the biggest recipients of his donations. He's also given to Senator Pat Leahy, a Vermont Democrat; Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat; Republican Spencer Abraham of Michigan; and Republican Slade Gorton, a former senator from Washington. He also given regularly to a PAC run by Amazon, which has roughly split its contributions between the two parties over the last 10 years. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/elon-musk-donations-republicans_us_5b4e4bd8e4b0b15aba897481 illionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, a man widely hailed as a world leader in the fight to combat climate change, has doled out nearly 7 times as much cash to Republican campaigns and political committees this election cycle as he has to Democratic ones. These guys are barely Democrats, let alone left wing --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

Marx and Engels both came from wealthier families, as do a lot of the whiny college SJWs. All the same, if you did a raw headcount, I think money tends to equal right wing in most places... but then again, look at Trump's supporters. To answer the topic question: it's probably a surprisingly close mix of both.

i mean the left has the 'artistic' community (hollywood) There's a reason why some of them skew left. They want people to buy/use their products. Katy Perry could very well be a secret right-winger, but that's bad for business. Being left publicly means she'll get millions of teens to buy her music. Zuckerberg, while being publicly left wing, is probably a right winger.

Hollywood need that demographic to keep spending money, so they can keep making big profits. I think there are many people in Hollywood that are conservative, but most of them will keep their head low and not say anything, or pretend to be liberal. Now that international revenue is such a big part of every movie release, if you don't publicly support "open borders", you're shooting yourself in the foot. --- Sig under construction! ...
