![]() I get the feeling despite his riches he was quite liberal...

![]() He contributed pretty much entirely to Democratic candidates, but the co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, described Steve Jobs as an Ayn Rand-style Objectivist, so make of any of that what you will.

![]() Creating and running the 2nd largest Fortune 500 company in America isn't exactly in the liberal playbook.

As an aside, Jobs campaign finance contributes are available on the internet. As someone who lived when it was truly exciting as computers became commonly available (I personally recall a Commodore TS 80), thank you, Steve Jobs.

As for Gates and Buffet, their principles are ironic as well as they have certainly taken advantage of a system that liberals loathe and seek to destroy. The only one who makes ridiculous assumptions is you. And for the record, before you play your typical part of the victim, you once again are the one to take the first shot at me.

You've now changed that assumption to be that "liberal wall street protesters" (false assumption, again) are railing against big companies that create their social media enabling. You clearly have zero idea what Occupy Wall Street is all about, and "who" they are protesting against, and why. Because that sure as hell ain't it. Quote:
You're not filled with too many proven false assumptive prejudices at all, are you? ![]() Go look at the Forbes list of the current Top 15 Billionaires on Wiki or Forbes. Please note which ones worked for and created their own wealth in this country (oh, those nasty liberals and Democrats!) and which merely inherited it? (why, those are dependable Republican donors!) I'm so tired of hearing that silly false "liberals hate corporations and wealth and money" whining. It's demonstrably baloney. Don't get mad just because you've been called out on it. And thanks for hijacking a thread about Steve Jobs to diss those "liberals" you apparently dislike so much.

Commodore didn't make the TS 80. It was Tandy, for Radio Shack, and it was the TRS-80. Very little of what Jobs did, or came up with, was original or innovative. He copied others ideas and did a much better job of packaging and marketing those ideas. He was ruthless and cared naught for whom or whatever he hurt. |

Of course, it was really just a 24-page advertisement for the TRS-80, but I remember it better than I do the comic book it came with. Riot was probably thinking of the Commodore 64, which is the other one I remember from around that time, give or take.
