The engineer revolution is showing that people are using tech to build wealth. This is not a multi-billionare banker who scemed millions out of their homes to make a few more bucks, this is someone providing real value to people making a few bucks. Is this so wrong wrong?

These people buy homes, shop in the local economy, they are doing what our country was meant to be like. But they are apparently an easy target, because real targets are too hard to get to.

Way to completely ignore what I said. I explicitly said that I don't believe Googlers/ techies are at fault or are perpetrating some great wrong, but rather that this guy's argument of "rich taxpayers shouldn't have to be good caring members of their communities because they pay taxes" is a shitty one.
What real value?
Is your life not noticeably improved by the existence of the internet?
