Suck it out of the world economy? Does Verisign collect their profits and throw it all in a furnace?

  What point are you trying to make? I think you know they don't burn the money.

    That's it's not lost or sucked out of the economy. It is transferred to new owners who will spend it and it will go to new owners and so on and so forth.

      Agreed, it's not really any different than an increase in taxes. Tax money does get spent, so it's not really lost at all.
