Yep, and assuming equal distribution of tax (including children), I paid 15 cents for this. Realistically more like approaching $1. So let me get this straight - pick n companies that are the most effective at sucking up to the govt, give them grant money, while hurting the rest of the (total - n) companies in the country, some of which will actually be profitable. I don't have an intrinsic problem with the govt investing in start ups, getting their returns as tax dollars (I don't think it's the governments role, but if they were profitable I wouldn't have a problem with it), but when will they wake up and realise that they're no good at it?
