By the way, I am a middle-aged liberal raising kids in an exburb and I drive to work.

I did say average.
Having lived in the Bay Area for five years, including the City, I don’t think I ever met any liberal who ran their own business. Maybe 1 out of a 100 liberals I met had a small kid, but also running a business? Never came across this combination . . . Nope, not once.
Now–in addition to having kids, driving to work, living in the exurbs–if you actually owned your own business (and I’m not talking selling things on e-bay), you would be as rare as the come.
I’m not saying it doesn’t happen–save an IT startup in the Bay Area–but most (young) liberals have no idea what their “save-the-environment-and make-gas-7-bucks-a-gallon, big-box-stores-are evil” policies would have on the working class if implemented.
