Many on Wall Street are very liberal, though I don’t understand why.

I worked for years in NYC. My colleagues' liberalism was divorced from business. Even decisions around the type of clients we'd book didn't hinge on conservative or liberal world views - optimizing shareholder value reigned supreme.

This "divorced" world/business view was most notable around pay - I never heard any lib volunteer that some of their pay or bonus should go to someone making less, or someone "less fortunate."

In other words, liberalism as a worldview was all great and fun until it DIRECTLY impacted THEM, especially when it came to THEIR money. In those cases, they were downright fans of Milton Friedman.
