I noticed that (or a similar report) yesterday, and found it interesting that the top ranks seem to have a heavy dose of conservatism, while the bottom ranks are populated by folks who want to run your life for you.
Interesting how that works, isn't it? Always easier to be extra generous with other people's money. Like Warren Buffett who fights paying taxes he supposedly owes but thinks other people should be taxed more. Go figure.
