Taxes are for old businesses. That seems to be the sentiment coming from the oft-offended Silicon Valley sycophants. Im not talking about the measured approach of Mayor Ed Lee and Ron Conway who are doing what every major city in American is doing, luring businesses to their neighborhoods by issuing tax breaks for highly attractive growth industries. That has always been good civic policy, and it still is today. Im talking about the entitled indignation of bloggers who believe that all businesses touched by technology deserve tax exemptions and that calling something ridiculous is the only evidence needed to support such a thesis.
