I think Republicans and Democrats tend to be more economically right-wing and more socially liberal as they get richer.
Don't know about doctors being mostly liberal, by the way. Not in my experience. And among notables: Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Ben Carson, John Barrasso, Bill Cassidy...
Ah, here: Republican physicians now in the Congress: Republican: 16, Democratic: 4

Or, perhaps, the same qualities - for example, self-reliance and tolerance - that make a person more libertarian are also generally conducive to financial success?
I think Republicans and Democrats tend to be more economically right-wing and more socially liberal as they get richer. I don't know what I could show to prove this, but from years of observing and researching political stuff, I think this is about right.
Poor Republicans tend to be economically center-right and socially authoritarian.
Rich Republicans tend to be economically far-right and socially moderate.
Poor Democrats tend to be economically left-wing and socially moderate.
Rich Democrats tend to be economically center-left and socially liberal.
Poor Republicans that support the current crop of GOP economic dogma are a stop short of masochists.
Generally the scientific fields which include Doctors are overwhelmingly liberal.

If everyone in the economy applies the principle of saving in vast amounts, We'd have a serious problem.
Or perhaps, certain qualities - being born with an edge in life(financial, racial, IQ), makes someone self-reliant knowing that more freedom generally benefits the strong.

Yes, like massive investment and job creation with growing wages .
when you actually go out into the world and earn your money, and know how hard it was to come by, you tend to want to keep it for yourself and your family
you know that paying taxes is part of the deal, but you want them to be as low as possible
so businessmen/women who build empires and wealth tend towards a more republican approach (lower taxes)
when you are born rich, or become rich more easily (hollywood, sports, inheritance, etc) those people sometimes take money for granted
and think that if they made it once, they can do it again....they tend to think more liberally
i know...very broad strokes of a very broad brush....
i have worked for a number of millionaires in my career....who all built their business from scratch
they were all staunch republicans....yet a LOT of their children were centrists, or even liberal in their thinking
because they were inheriting the wealth....not building it from scratch.....
"Strength" is relative. More freedom benefits everyone who keeps trying.

Well Anarchy would be maximum freedom, but I'm guessing that'll be too much for him.What does "more freedom" even mean?
But yet you support one of those born with a Platinum spoon in his mouth that up until this election was as Liberal as they come, care to explain the inconsistency?
Tell that to the woman working two jobs to try and feed her kids that still needs food stamps on top of it.
Nonsense. There's no reason this would occur. Why would anybody invest when there's no demand in the first place? .
Give me a hint ... whom are you talking about ??
