Tech founders on politics, a deadly combo


Recommended Posts

Here's an article i came across this morning. It's a political survey of silicon valley's elites trying to figure out their political leanings.

The author is attempting to paint this great picture of tech founders reshaping the democratic party into more libertarian ideas mixed with the lefts love of big government. Reading through it I get the feeling that this really can't be a good thing. It seems to me like the tech elites are simply trying to have the best of both worlds. Where they get both the benefits of free trade so their companies can make billions of dollars, and they gat the massive government to enforce their PC ideals.

 

What do you think? Is this the happy medium, or yet another sign of the end? If nothing else I definitely think it sheds some light on how little these companies everyone loves so much care about us.
