Is Connery liberal and supportive of high taxes and socialism?
If so he should be called out for rank hypocrisy. He is a tax exile?, really? He has made millions but doesn’t want to share the wealth? To paraphrase Obama, he is unpatriotic if he has moved his domicile and business affairs to another country to avoid taxes in his own country.
I believe Connery is relatively conservative. I can recall him calling “feminazis” fascists, as they had a tendency to protest his appearances because of their perverted view that his portrayal of James Bond somehow diminished womynkind for all eternity.
He supports The Scottish National Party (SNP) which per their web site is a left leaning nationalist party.
So he may not be a bleeding heart Hollywood Lib, but left Scotland to save 20 million dollars in taxes.
From SNP Web Site
Climate change - Our record:
A Global Leader - Introduced world leading climate change legislation to reduce emissions by 42% by the end of the decade, with annual targets and a minimum of 80% reduction by 2050
Reducing waste in Scotland - Recycling in Scotland is at its highest ever level – almost 35% of waste is recycled in Scotland, a 7% rise since 2007
No More Nuclear - As well as opposing nuclear weapons, the SNP is opposed to new nuclear power stations or dumps in Scotland
Investing in Renewables - The SNP-led Scottish Government has invested heavily in our renewables sector. With 25% of Europe’s wind energy potential, including massive off shore as well as onshore wind power capabilities, a quarter of Europe’s tidal resource, and huge potential from clean coal and carbon capture, the SNP believes there are real economic and employment opportunities for Scotland. We showed our commitment to developing new renewable technologies by launching the £10m Saltire prize for innovation in marine technology.
