Google for Kerry?

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Google Inc. employees took out their wallets and showed overwhelming support for the Democratic Party last year, according to a report Monday in USA Today.

The paper said that 53 percent of the broader tech industry's $25.9 million went to Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign finance.

Political contributions by the industry may be in response to recent debates on Capitol Hill over Internet taxes, offshoring of jobs and other issues.

Google giving is still small compared with other tech donors, USA Today said. Microsoft employees gave $3.1 million last year -- and of that amount, 60 percent went to Democrats, according to the report.

3. The google founders are young

One went to high school with my son, so would be 31. It was in a quite liberal university town.

He wasn't rich, just really smart and worked hard at a great idea at the right time.

The company is very popular to work for. Great policies and a great (free) cafeteria for employees.
