You're generalizing. You're right that educated people who major in stem studies and software and other non-political areas are more likely to be liberal, but you should try checking out the average economics or business major. Not many economics majors are likely to agree with liberals because basic economics don't agree with liberals.

Of course I was generalizing, but I was simply responding to something I felt was a non-factual statement which was that when someone has to pay more taxes that it turns them to conservatism. Its simply not a point of causation. With that said, in general, yes more highly educated STEM people tend to be liberal. I will admit some ignorance to the business and economic spectrum of academia, but I would certainly not doubt that the majority of enrollees into such programs lean right. I would love to see the political leanings of actual Economist however, I've been unable to find data on where actual economist (not students) tend to lean. Though there are so many factors other than their area of study which would lean them to one ideology or another, other issues would drive them as well. Simply interesting data to look at none the less

I don't have the info on economists in the workforce, but a brief survey I took part in at my university a few years ago had business students voting for conservatives at 67%, despite the overall university voting liberal at around 40% followed by socialist at 20%.

Interesting stuff. I'm surprised there's not more info out there for this type of polling. You'd figure they have these demographics mapped out somewhere

Even though neo-Keynesian economics is widely accepted in the field? Based on that, most professional economists tend to be liberal.
