I know we all have our prejudices, but come on... You completely miss the point of the article, while jiu-jitsuing some random communist strawman for good measure. Have you even read the article? Many of your objections are mentioned there. Or you could read the actual paper, if you find this newspaper article lacking in data.
BTW, please don't elevate rich people to a pedestal with the right hand, and at the same time, throw shit to politicians with the other. There might be a lot of cognitive damage with feet in Congress, but so there is in Wall Street. Personally, I prefer a democracy without Apple than Apple without democracy.
