Why does that make you a horrible human being? Different views (that don't affect anyone outside of your not doing the same as they do) makes you a horrible human being?

It's not the only reason why I dislike him, but it cemented my opinion of him.

In my opinion, there's a big difference between 'dislike' and 'he's a horrible human being'. Personally, I reserve that for very few people that have done things that no amount of spin or explanation or other mitigating things they've done, it can't account for nor excuse the horrendously terrible things that they've done. The toll of their decisions is lives spent- not lives not save, but spent- on the fires of their ego, hate, etc.
From what I know of his policies and the decisions that he made in relation to Apple and his business practices, there are several things that I don't agree with. No matter how much money that I personally make, I will always do things outside of myself, that don't directly benefit me, and I can't see how someone could decide differently if they have even greater resources. But those are personal decisions, and I personally can't see calling someone a 'horrible human being' because they don't espouse those same beliefs.
That's where the divide comes for me...
I can see that.

I can see that, and I totally agree. In my opinion, no matter what you work for/are given, there are those less fortunate and in less than ideal circumstances, they could be you, so I give. Not as much as I think I should, nor I realistically could, but there it is. So I don't look at any deeds that aren't in service as merit-worthy. But truthfully, that's not the kind of world we live in. That's why people who are *not* in service make the most money. And that's why most (all?) governing parties are the way that they are.
