Why is it these business leaders feel they have some special right to dictate to us what we may do?

Basically, it seems these people want more subsidies and for us to change our immigration laws to favor them.

With some 30 odd years in technology - I'd have to say that nearly all of the executives and most of the professionals are clueless with respect to anything in economics beyond business profit and loss, stock options, etc. - they have NO understanding nor interest in how the larger economy works nor the impact of politics and social policy on an economy. They are politically naive - describing them as 'sheeple' with respect to politics puts it mildly. They pretty much get their information and opinions from the MSM (which of course means the DNC.

I've had graduate engineers from MIT argue that the automobile was the single most destructive invention of all time and seriously suggest the world would be better off if the government had more control over technology development and its application. I know the conservative stereotype of engineers and technicians - I don't see it much in IT and high tech.
