There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.

I was watching MSNBC the other day and there’s this high button football player-style knob, Dylan Ratigan, going on about bringing economic justice back to America. And he, and others, are always blurting out things like “we need new innovators like Steve Jobs and Henry Ford to create more jobs” and I could tear my hair out. Henry Ford paid Americans to make cars. Jobs built his empire growing and exploiting the pool of “jobs” in the above graphic so swells can have iKit.

Jobs was never a visionary. He was a marketeer, and a damned good one. The ideas came from others; he packaged them–admittedly, masterfully, but he was always about appearances.
