We're shown an example of government funding a project that works, a guide from history if you will, but that doesn't even slow you down. Can you atleast acknowledge that government, like in this example, can get it right, so therefore writing off a long list of governmnet initiatives without any additional analysis is wrong?

The internet was primarily made by those right wing warmongerers the left hates.
IOW it was made mainly for military communication.
Your point being?

He didn't say someone like Obama invented the internet you fools - he's saying they laid the groundwork for the infrastructure that made it possible.

That's exactly what I was trying to say. I guess I need to work on my writing clarity; I apologize for the confusion gentlemen.

I takes two to communicate. Don't be too hard on yourself in this case.

Support job creation by raising taxes on everyone who creates jobs.

Really bright thinking, there.

The person who laid the groundwork for the internet was "like Obama" like my bicycle is "like Pluto".

Tell me JLB, if you can make a dollar profit from every worker you hire, but then the government taxes you 99 cents of that doallar, don't you still have an incentive to create jobs?

An extreme example certainly,but your position is an absolute aswell. Could it be possible that, considering the huge wealth and income disparity between workers and owners, that there is still room to move in taxing more without reducing incentive?

That the internet research came from government funding is COMPLETELY an accident of history, as I previously showed. p-did tried to use this to justify a bunch of techie boondoggles promised by Obama to impress undiscerning morons, a pole vault of illogic.
