This bunch ALWAYS finds a reason to vote Democrat.
EVERY ELECTION they sign some kind of letter telling us why things will be horrible with a Republican.
Nothing new here...and just SICKENING.

Yes, that's indeed the key paragraph. But also, the government is key to giving them a tax advantage over regular brick and mortar businesses.
This is precisely why Bozo, the CEO of Amazon, bought the Washington Post -- to protect his quasi-monopoly.
But it must frustrate these Silicon Valley types to no end that all the money in the world couldn't take Donald Trump down.
I'm smiling now, thinking about how Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are cursing to themselves how Trump is ruining their parade.

The letter, which can be read in full here, condemned Trumps stances on immigration and insults to women as obstacles to innovation.Let's face it. The real issue is that these companies are not paying their fair share of taxes. They know that they cannot buy Trump, and will have to stop being so greedy.

I remember a quote from some book of wisdom which has stuck with me..”When youth rule, the people are brought to mourning.” Look at the richest people on the planet. Nearly all have brains which are still “pruning.” They are the owners of the world's technology and that might well lead to the destruction of civilization. Young people are no longer inspired to higher culture..Great music, great art, great thinkers, great heroes and heroines, great families, great inventors, great and insightful writers, great scientists, etc. No, they have been focused on basic and largely uncivilized human lusts and emotions even before they are old enough to be interested in such things. They are no longer reared by parents because both parents have to work. Everything truly is turned upside down and inside out as political correctness endorses a situation where the most threatening individuals win in all of the institutions which teach the children. Grandparents try to rear the abandoned Grandchildren, but with one foot in the grave, it is hard to do more than to try to keep them physically safe. It is so sad to watch and to be aware that lessons and greatness from the past of humanity is being lost day by day. If it can ever be rebuilt, it will take 100s of years with most human life being full of suffering and deprivation from day one. I ask myself whether the God I serve will intervene. Time will tell.

>> Boo hoo, hoo, no more cheap H-1B visas.
THIS. Trump should repay their support by eliminating the H1-B and OPT visas.

Read the statement again. It's completely accurate - from their POV:
"Diversity is *our* strength."
Confusion arises because they seem to be speaking indirectly as representatives of the country as a whole, when actually, they are merely referencing themselves ie the specific tech executives who signed the letter.

Read the statement again. It's completely accurate - from their POV: My statement addressed it from their point of view. It simply has more to do with cheap labor than any general notion of strength. They're lying.

“When have any of these people shown any concern for the future of this country? “
Good observation. They don’t. They are opportunists who see themselves as citizens of the world.
A friend of mine whose career paralleled the start of Silicon Valley told me how it changed over time, from an enclave of American engineers to one that has as little connection to America as the UN General Assembly. These IT CEOs have been replacing Americans with foreign nationals for a very long time and they will fight for the ability to keep doing it.
