Jesse Lipson, founder of tech firm Citrix: “There’s something simple you don’t understand about business. Nothing scares away business more than hate.” It’s a great message, and hopefully the start of a theme—that Trump and the GOP don’t own “business”. It’s no accident that California is the innovation capital of the world. It’s no accident that the part of Texas with the greatest innovation—Austin—also happens to be its most liberal.
Liberal policies are good for business. I’ve done great in business with two successful businesses because of liberalism, not in spite of it.
