Ken, you can spell correctly, but you used the wrong word–it’s your, not you’re.

Secondly, the U.s. government paid for the R&D for the Internet for years. It’s called military Keynesianism, and U.S. “capitalism” cannot survive without it. Neither could Soviet “communism”

You can’t take a country the size of the US and compare it to a country the size of Virginia.You also miss the fact the if there wasn’t a profit in it, it would have never been invented. Look at where these technologies were invented, how companies underwrote development with the idea of making a profit down the road. Much of the technology you admire overseas was appropriated with the cost of R&D fully absorbed with no compensation to the inventors. There is no such thing as free. Many countries use taxes to pay for the service, using the money from all to pay for services many don’t use.Take a look at the tax rates of other countries. I’ll take a wild guess that you’re not a econ major. Let me help:
