Many intellectuals are for sure, but I'm not so sure about journalists and
politicians. And definitely not about corporate leaders. And even if they
associated themselves that way, it doesn't show in actual policies and
politics.

Of course this depends by country. Which country are you talking about?
(US?)  And how does this 90%'s ideology show in your opinion? If you can
give few practical examples..
