In SaraJohnson's derangement against the late Steve Jobs she gets it wrong. While he did support the DNC and a few candidates in the late 90s and early 2000s, like Bill Bradley against Al Gore, he was not a reliable big money donor and donated absolutely nothing after 2006.

Was he the whacko marxist-socialist CEO she describes? Let's look at his views on education. He blamed the unions for destroying it, for high costs, for robbing it of market competition, he believed in vouchers, in merit based promotion, in teachers not technology. He believed in equality of opportunity, not outcome.

Here's a 1995 in depth interview where you'll see those views: Smithsonian Oral History Interview with Steve Jobs

It seems to me he could best be described as an old line Democrat, one who believed in markets, in opportunity, a kind of Democrat which is effectively extinct today.

I heard him talk on a number of occasions and he was a socialist. There are socialist Republicans, too. That is our major problem right now. But Jobs was mainly a politically correct democrat liberal.

I don’t have any hatred towards the man. I just find it amazing that someone that successful would be buying into the magical thinking of socialism and political correctness.

I can tell this really shook ya! You appleites!

Oh, i see. He supported the current community organizer Marxist in office because he is a special, magical thinking kinda democrat who in hindsight figured out he screwed up like he did with his “alternative cancer treatment decision. LOL Get off it. He was an idiot outside his creative endeavours.
