Our country is broke, we can't afford the research. There are plenty of research projects out there that could be done on a zero budget basis, why not concentrate efforts towards these and use the profits as private donations to fund your pet projects -- instead of taxing individuals who produce a profit and forcing them at gun point to pay for your project? The reason is, because if you had to fund it yourself with your own money, you wouldn't be doing it because its not worth your own investment. Why should we have to pay for it then?
