You would have the livelihoods of all Americans held hostage to the protectionism of corporate patents.
Patents promote "the useful arts." The country is founded on the promotion of the legal incentives to come up with new and better ideas. Interesting how you apparently regard obtaining Intellectual Property as somehow a criminal enterprise against "Americans". Somehow I don't think you are too worried about Americans. More likely your clients in China.
You need to find some middle ground here. You are advocating burning down the village to save the village.
Nope. That's your hypothetical conundrum...which is unreal in all particulars. And do you really want to get into what is "Best" for the "Most"? The idea is that we want manufactures HERE for very intensely vital national security reasons. Reasons I'm sure you're unprepared to ever accept. So in fact, what you fail to recognize, your profiteers who you fear I would be "burning down their part of the village" for the sake of some others understates and misapprehends the situation. IN point of fact....they are putting the whole village at risk of being burned down by their activity.
United We Stand. Divided We Fall.
It is useless to try to have a civil discussion with someone who takes any disagreement with viewpoint as an occasion to impute evil intent. You are dishonest in your debating methods, viz. your repeated use of insulting strawman arguments. If you wish to continue this with a more civil tone, let me know. Otherwise, I have no time to waste on you.
