Do Republicans start a lot of tech companies?
There is no shortage of Republican billionaires having their way with American politics for personal gain and anyone who is paying attention is repulsed by it.
Look at Harold Hamm of Continental Resources oil company. He was asked to be Trump's energy secretary but he didn't want to leave the company he started which made him worth $25 billion.
Instead he has a superpac that funds Republican candidates and causes, and he flies his jet to Washington to schmooze politicians into supporting the oil industry through policy making.
He busses employees to the capital and hands them signs to protest bills which would raise taxes on the oil industry.
He emailed employees encouraging them to vote against medical marijuana because it's corrupting society.
I wanted politics out of boardrooms a long time ago!
