Affiliate Marketing Secrets

By economic liberal, I should be more specific in that I mean economic liberals who identify as some sort of creative type who wants to be active in the market. In other words, an artists who wants to market oneself.
Now, as a traditionalist conservative, who identifies right on a number of issues, I’ve made it no secret that economically, I’m a card-carrying “East Coast Liberal” type; I believe in regulated capitalism with a reasonable safety net to safeguard the poor. But I am also a realist. I realise that the higher the tax rates are, the less activity there will be for the private sector. Is it possible for a non-laissez-fair economy to still achieve growth? You bet it is, history proves this. But because those of us who prize creativity want to present what we come up with to the market, it would seem that the liberal economy in some form could slow that down a bit.
Have they ever done any studies on how politics affect the entertainment/creative industries? Some claim that an artist who truely goes for his self interest should be libertarian. But I disagree, because Europe has always been more artsy than the US and coincidentally, has always been more economically tempered. Also, if such a statement was true, why do you suppose the VAST majority of creative types, are at least somewhat liberal?
I think this conflict is worth looking at. Discuss!
