<< why is there a completely different take when someone sweats his a** off building a manufacturing business into a profitable, and wealth producing venture, while providing gainful employment to others? >>

Because, according to the liberal elite, such an enterprise, by definition:

Pollutes
Discriminates against women and minorities
Produces hazardous products
Rips off the working man
Runs sweatshop working conditions for jobs kept in this country and sends the rest overseas
Gouges the public for the benefit of stockholders

I probably forgot a few but you can add your own to the list.

Very good observation, haqi. I think that there is a cultural bias originating in the images of Marxism. All of the Fatcat imagery is from manufacturing and Wall Street. All of this youthful hi- tech stuff doesn't fit the imagery. How can they be Robber Barons, they are mere babies!?
