How many of the people who make Wall Street a culprit as the 1% know that Apple and Google are the highest earning corporations in the country? Yep, Google and Apple are more valuable than all oil companies.
Silicone Valley is full of liberal trash who coincidentally also made up the Occupy Movement, liberals aren't exactly known for accepting their extremely hypocritical nature without a fight or lies to hide it. When people on the left talk bad about rich folks they're only talking about conservatives like the Koch brothers, they couldn't care less about rich folks on the left.
Because in general, the beef wasn't "corporations are earning money". It was "There's massive income disparity in America and financial institutions are gambling with our money, screwing us over, and getting bailouts and golden parachutes out the butt when it all goes upside down".
Believe it or not, even most liberals think it's a-ok for people to make money.

And Apple and Google don't do the same? You don't think when a exec leaves Microsoft he doesn't get a golden parachute? Aside from giving info about us all to the government, you're willing to give them a pass?

Yeah Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Steve Wozniak are all pretty much self made billionaires they All help create the mainstream popularity of the home PC and the software to run it and you could come up with a innovative idea also and try and patent it And maybe get successful yourself.

First, it's SiliCON Valley, not SiliCONE Valley - I believe you're confusing us with Los Angeles, where the Silicone flows like water.
Secondly, the majority of those "Occupy types" to which you refer are in places like Berkeley and SF... the South Bay, while still largely Democratic, is hardly full of the activist-hippy culture you reference here. Do you know anything about the Bay Area? Sure doesn't seem like it.
I'd think conservatives would love Silicon Valley, seeing as our most successful companies and individuals are self-made innovators, which is a far cry from duping or taxing their way to financial gains. You know, the old "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and making it happen yourself" mantra? Not to mention, the high-tech companies employ thousands upon thousands of people, and offer competitive salaries/benefits to even the lower-level workers. From work shuttles & personal shopping services to dog & baby daycare, they are treated VERY well! So even the Occupy folks aren't too concerned about the businesses here, as they really don't compare to Wall Street on any level (other than monetary value).

Is that a problem? Apple makes a quality product. Why shouldn't they earn high profits?
Granted the fact that these buses are using public bus stops is a valid argurment.
