The most liberal and conservative jobs

RE: The most liberal and conservative jobs
Contributions to parties - meaning someone has to consider democrats liveral. That list says nothing at all in lights of both parties being in the pockets of corporate money. It's a bribeocracy by design.

Me too. They listen to talk radio all day - but maybe NPR more.

I don't know why I'd expect surgeons and cosmetic surgeons to be more liberal

No surprise my fellow farmers are more conservative, I was surprised the cattlemen are so much more conservative than the farmers, though.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

RE: The most liberal and conservative jobs
Looking at the chart, I'm wondering if people who are more left brained tend to be more conservative and those more right brained tend to be more liberal?

The more artsy type jobs seem to be more blue (architect, chef, librarian, florist, yoga, etc), while the more technical jobs are red (home builder, plumber, pilot, truck driver, surgeon, etc etc).

I wonder why that is?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

The more money you make, the more likely you are to want to not pay percentages in taxes.

Also, the centers of art are in major population hubs, and I would suspect a lot of your political leanings have to do with who you surround yourself with. It is hard to lean conservative in an art community filled with people who social conservatives want to deny rights to.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Generally the left have always seemed to value "creative industries" more, while the Right favour more hard industry.

I also think the gender split has something to do with it. On the whole (I know, #NotAll) women tend to be more liberal-minded than men, and they're also more likely to do into artsy jobs too.

It seems both sides have jobs that do and don't make good money.

I thought the most conservative job would have to be being the guy who wipes Rush Limbaugh's ass for him while telling him how great he is every day.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
