So are people like Zuckerberg, Gates, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, in fact most most entrepreneurs within the Silicon Valley tech industry are politically progressive.
Eat that you Republican tools. I think the tech companies should fire all the Republicans they have on their payroll.

Political ideology and the manner in which a person lives their personal and professional life, are not the same thing. Steve Jobs can disagree with the policies of the democrats in Washington, and still feel the party represents his core values.
We can use Facebook as an example, the CEO is a liberal, and yet he hides his wealth overseas. Is that in keeping with the liberal cry for tax the rich? No, it would be an example of some greedy person refusing to pay their fair share. Or in keeping with the saying that "liberals are only generous with other people's money."
I believe it was either Jobs, or one of the people he started his company with, who said that with all of today's federal laws and regulations, it would not be possible for the Apple Computer company to have been created.
Starting a manufacturing company in their garage? That simply could not be allowed in today's over regulated business environment. Where were all the mountains of EPA paperwork? Where were the permits, environmental impact studies, compliance with OSHA and employee, and workplace regulations??
Agreed, you can be a selfish S.O.B., who thinks the laws and rules should not apply to you, and still vote for the democrats to run government. You can vote like a bleeding liberal, claim to be liberal on social issues, and never flip a dime into the can for the Salvation Army, and never contribute to your local food shelter.
For some selfish libs, simply voting for a democrat who said he would push social welfare issues - equals "I care." But in your private life you never help those less fortunate then you. simply voting for a democrat absolves some people of having to actually do something themselves, because that's government work. It's why they voted the way they did, to have other people do that stuff instead of having to do it themselves.
Oops, Steve Jobs didn't even agree with Obama's ******* policies...
Quote:
"You're headed for a one-term presidency," he told Obama at the start of their meeting, insisting that the administration needed to be more business-friendly. As an example, Jobs described the ease with which companies can build factories in China compared to the United States, where "regulations and unnecessary costs" make it difficult for them.
Jobs also criticized America's education system, saying it was "crippled by union work rules," noted Isaacson. "Until the teachers' unions were broken, there was almost no hope for education reform." Jobs proposed allowing principals to hire and fire teachers based on merit, that schools stay open until 6 p.m. and that they be open 11 months a year.
