If we that taxpayer paid for the research that created a patentable product, why should the taxpayer not get some benefit ?

I'm thinking the same thing, at the least we should get our investment back.

I agree with you. There are consequences for actions. Perhaps a stake in the profits up to the amount the taxpayers ‘invested’ no more, no less. But as with all Dem schemes, they will reward their friends and punish their enemies. Same as it ever was. “The Vampire Economy”.
