I suspect that most people are unaware that the financial wizards on Wall Street were mostly contributors to liberal Democrats. It is not surprising to me given that the two groups share a philosophy that there is "something for nothing." Things worked out pretty well for the top wizards. When things collapsed, they skated away with millions of dollars. Things also worked out for liberal Democrats: they now have total control of the US government with the chance that they can gain permanent control.
