This is rediculous if true. Clearly, patents are important public policy. They should be funded as such, and if need be, taxes from profits of patent-holding companies should be dedicated to the USPTO. Taxes from fees (1) dont scale; and (2) are orders of magnitude off the economic impact, so any distortion from bad decisions is also.
