Steve Jobs, the greatest job creator ever was a democrat (minimum wage, education)

I think a more founded argument could be made that the Walton's were/are better/bigger job creators.

You mean at creating more jobs for the Chinese?

Wal-Mart's China inventory to hit US$18b this year

So far, more than 70 per cent of the commodities sold in Wal-Mart are made in China.

More than 5,000 Chinese enterprises have established steady supply alliances with Wal-Mart.

Apple creates jobs in China too...

Obviously the OP is telling us that none of those Progressive entrepreneurs were capable of succeeding without the government holding their hands... out.

You can thank your government for that.

Most Silicon Valley tech firms compensate employees with salary, benefit subsidies and most importantly, stock options.

Google got creative with non financial in office perks.

Eat that you Republican tools. I think the tech companies should fire all the Republicans they have on their payroll.

It's that old misunderstood quest for progressive equality.

And your second paragraph removes any good you might have done with your point about tech companies. You've removed any necessity to even try to refute your point about the tech industry by demonstrating the ideologicial authoritarianism of progressives. No amount of jobs are worth the lack of freedom that progressivism leads to

Probably not surprising considering how much conservatives seem to distrust education, science and any sort of change or progress these days!

Although Dems shouldn't get too smug, as even Jobs once commented on his frustration after meeting with the ever-cautious Obama, who, unlike Jobs, only believes in working with what's ''possible''. Whereas Jobs always believed in creating the possibilities!
