It doesn't matter what Job's believes or professes to believe what
matters is how he runs his business. He has the best Tax Lawyers and
the best Accountants and their ideology is making money, they make it
the old fashioned way, which is any way they can, and have no doubt they
keep Apple's taxes (and Mr Job's taxes as well), to a minimum. They
keep the bottom line robust and if any policy doesn't support that goal
is put out with the recycling. Apple is a first class globalization
company, their circuit boards are made by Foxcon in China, their cases
are injection molded in China, their chips are made in fabrication
facilities in Indonesia the Philippians and anywhere else it's cheapest
to do so.
Apple couldn't build an iPad in the US if they wanted to, and Job's
policies helped make is so. Finally Apple was built as a company when
California and the United States were a fare bit friendlier to startups,
now they are a big business, which is all in favor of barriers to
entry,. California and for the matter the Feds have been erecting more
and more of them every damned day., and Apple is just fine with that.
Just as a bit of counterpoint.

on a student visa and had a child out of wedlock. He's a non-Christian, arugula-eating,
drug-using follower of unabashedly old-fashioned liberal teachings from the hippies and
folk music stars of the 60s. And he believes in science, in things that science can
demonstrate like climate change and Pi having a value more specific than "3",
and in extending responsible benefits to his employees while encouraging his company to
lead by being environmentally responsible.
