I’ll give you a viewpoint from business startups that I haven’t heard yet.

I started a company recently to compete in a multibillion dollar industry that is poorly served and desperate for a better product. So I invented the better product. I have several choices for getting it to market and realizing its profit potential. I can slug it out and go private industry. I can go for venture capital and take on financial partners. Or I can sell it to the Chinese that are willing to pay above top dollar and walk away a rich man.

Due to the government burdens, slugging it out isn’t an option. The risk of failure can become too great, and the loss of profits to taxes is beyond ridiculous.

Venture capital is risky as well and comes with it their total domination with me getting far less than expected.

The Chinese are willing to buy it outright and work hard to make the product successful. They stand an excellent chance of making that happen. The Chinese are willing to take my product outside the US and evade US taxes. The US wants basically half my dough. Half. For what??

When Congress and the rest of the polidiots get together they fail to remember places like the Soviet Union tried to keep people and resources inside but the country eventually failed. Half the people in this country pay taxes to feed the other half that are too lazy and stupid to feed themselves.

"Half the people in this country pay taxes to feed the other half that are too lazy and stupid to feed themselves."

Some truth there, but many of those paying taxes are also producing nothing of value. They are getting their incomes from debt/revenues (or rely on government-employed customers) and are pushing for more socialist policies (political class regulators and educators).

Sell to the Chinese, IMO. We need an economic housecleaning. And I'm poor for the time being, BTW (saving and building), but hard working, not lazy and not on any kind of welfare. I'll be fine, and so will many others who appear to be poor while being technically inclined. Do it.

Let's show 'em what a real technocracy is (not socialism but a nation run by the truly productive--the physically technically inclined).
