08/28/2007: "Technology industry buys democratic party"

Now that the Democrats are the dominant party on the hill in Washington, tech companies and venture capitalists are contributing more to that party than they are to congressional Republicans.

For the first half of this year, almost two-thirds of the contributions from the political action committees of Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Google and other tech companies went to Democrats and Democratic committees, according to the Mercury News. That.s the reverse of what it was last year.

[ If you're surprised, you weren't paying attention. Our last Democrat president allowed tech companies to over-inflate themselves, resulting in spectacular profits in IT and entertainment, and a consequent crash in 2000 that was devastating. They'll do it again and blame the next Republican president yet again. Democracy is a scam. ]
