(1) Why invest when we’re not willing to protect our investment? We let every nation have access to our technology for free.
(2) Our taxpayer investment in technology usually ends up creating overseas jobs.
(3) Colleges and universities already feel they have a blank check from the government. They go up to whatever they want and they know student loans will pick up the tab.
(4) Maybe colleges and universities should stick to what they know best — indoctrination of students to their liberal political beliefs and telling students there is no God.
Personally, I am not feeling they need a lot more of my money.
Works like this:
(1) U.S. company comes up with invention.
(2) U.S. company outsources production to other Country (i.e. China).
(3) China company produces product for U.S. company.
(4) China company copies invention product and sells it for less.
(5) U.S. company goes bankrupt as could not compete due to higher taxes and regulations.
(6) China company becomes source of invention product.
(7) China company gets rich.
(8) U.S. company workers go on unemployment.
Companies who create don't share their technology. We have patent rights for that.
