Re: Stupid ISPs Screwed Themselves

Yes, Microsoft got too big too fast and missed some of the learning stages. I find it interesting that even though Clinton started it and Bush let them off, the Democrats get more money from Microsoft Corp, but the Republicans get more from the individual Microsoft management types. Never have been able to figure that out (although I have guesses).

Pretty simple, really. Republican policies are more favorable to the wealthier management types, so that's where their money goes. Democratic policies are more beneficial to the middle-class and "clean industry" like the tech sector, so that's where the rank-and-file donations go. The donations are a lot smaller than the managers', but there's a lot more average employees.

I work in the tech sector (electronics engineer in the test software field) and I do not see the dems as being conducive to my remaining gainfully employed. Microsoft being a 'big' business you would think would go repub, but since it is run by lawyers, I guess it makes sense that they pay into the dems more.
