Saverin is a very good example of how your policies would work. He took HIS money and took it out of the U.S. If you want him to stay here, it has to be attractive for his to stay. It wasn’t. And nothing you have advocated would change that. In fact, they would make it worse.[/quote]

Actually he is taking EVERYONE ELSE’S MONEY out of the country since he is one of the earliest participants in the FB Ponzi scheme. It has been promoted and pushed by TPTB from day one as an epic, massive classic pump-and-dump operation. People are so stupid now that they can’t even see these things when they’re right in front of their face as plain as day. FB is pets.com rev. 2. It’s kozmo.com done correctly, where the insiders get the loot and retire to their private islands and megayachts while everyone else turns down the heat and eats government cheese to make it through another cold winter.

Do you really think that it’s a coincidence that FB came from Harvard? Harvard’s CS department is nothing special. Social networking was a well-established and well-understood technology by the time FB came out. It had many competitors, both proprietary and open-source. There is a reason that FB didn’t come out of a great CS school like Urbana-Champaign or Berkeley. The proper connections don’t exist at those places…
