This isn't even funny! Since when in a free society does the government dictate that a companies profits be put into a fund to research a means to put that company out of buisiness? It's like telling the lumber industy to start investing their profits into plastics research.

It doesn't matter if it's Exxon or Pete's Hardware store, the government has the right to tax profits, not dictate how their spent!

Have a good one!:s4:
