Why would he need to tell himself this in order to sleep at night?

Shit, he's even pretty guillotine proof on pure socialist rhetoric.

Jobs tried to screw the people (their friends) who kept Apple going when it was a company based out of a garage. He had promised them future stocks and stiffed them in the cash out phase.

Woz gave them $10m in 1980, before the company had its iPod money.
