Of course, the same argument applies on the other side, but on social issues, the hyper-wealthy tend to be less conservative in general.

Rich pot heads???? That made me chuckle a little. The ensuing meeting of said rich potheads should make for a pretty good comedy movie. It could start with Afro Man singing..." I was gonna get involved...but then I got high..."
