TA - I guess if you consider Buffet and Gates leftists you might have a point. And then you have all those rich Hollywood people pushing higher taxes and redistribution as well. Ayn Rand was a Hollywood writer but likely not of the same mind. Maybe Buffet and Gates and Streisand all get the idea that to buy ice cream cones and games and concert tickets the middle class needs money. Crazy leftists? I'd say pretty enlightened economic thinking. Not necessarily directly from the Hayek school, but then even Hayek believed in a strong social safety net.
