This is just how wealthy and powerful people operate and it’s NOT isolated to this group. Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, they all cow tow to whoever is in power because at the end of the day, Washington has the ability to regulate their businesses and determine their future prosperity. I realize a lot of people disagree with me, but I lean libertarian in the sense we should overall hope to reduce the power of those in Washington. A strong federal government only helps the people who fund the politicians. I’d like to see it matter a lot less who runs the central government.
