LOL, where did you find that definition? Almost all "people at the top" are liberals.Really? How many of the Fortune 400 are political liberals...three?...four?You might like to look at some demographic studies ... "Liberal with others peoples money..." Conservatives are an entirely different kind of idiot.
Thelist one gets from Google <https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=fortune+400+list+political+affiliation&oq=fortune+400+list+political+affiliation&gs_l=hp.3...1278.9221.2.9395.22.22.0.0.0.0.97.1712.22.22.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.hqns6GGS45k&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=f984dbbd36939e42&biw=1527&bih=812> is difficult to get hard numbers from.

Rated:3 out of 5 stars Hello Gordoncitizen, In response to your clarification that you wished to accept my findings as the answer to your question, I am providing the following information to you. The name and source of the publication is: The Myth of Old Money Liberalism: The Politics of the Forbes 400 Richest Americans By VAL BURRIS, University of Oregon http://www.uoregon.edu/~vburris/oldmoney.pdf <http://www.uoregon.edu/%7Evburris/oldmoney.pdf> Here is the data: =============================================== Political Partisanship of New Rich and Old Rich =============================================== ----------------------------------------------- New Rich ----------------------------------------------- Democrat 9% Strong Democrat 20% Republican 16% Strong Republican 36% Bipartisan 19% ----------------------------------------------- Old Rich ----------------------------------------------- Democrat 6% Strong Democrat 13% Republican 10% Strong Republican 59% Bipartisan 12% ----------------------------------------------- The above data is on page 8 - Figure 2 University of Oregon http://www.uoregon.edu/~vburris/oldmoney.pdf <http://www.uoregon.edu/%7Evburris/oldmoney.pdf> On page 7 - Figure 1, you will find the bar chart illustrating the Mean Percentage of Contributions to Republicans and Democrats. http://www.uoregon.edu/~vburris/oldmoney.pdf <http://www.uoregon.edu/%7Evburris/oldmoney.pdf> "New Rich were defined as those whose parents did not have substantial wealth or own a business worth more than $1 million." "Rising Rich were defined as those who inherited small businesses or wealth worth more than $1 million, but insufficient to place them on the Forbes list without a significant increase in their wealth during their lifetimes (usually a result of their success in building a small business into a large corporation)." "Old Rich were defined as those who were born into wealth sufficient to place them on the Forbes 400 list." -- Onward!
