I considered that -- we&#x27;re effectively subsidizing research. I feel way better about that, then giving defense contractors 300&#x2F;hr to drag&amp;drop some Telerik components into Visual Studio. I figure that&#x27;s the lesser of two evils IMO. Some companies don&#x27;t even pay taxes -take Apple[1] who posted 30 billion in profit (for those of you who haven&#x27;t paid retained earnings taxes, that&#x27;s ~10 billion that should have gone to the federal government, and if you live in California, your state wouldn&#x27;t be broke anymore (or significantly less broke)).  More than $100 billion dollars homed in a nominal &#x27;headquarters&#x27; to rob hard working Americans. (Granted I&#x27;d be transfer pricing too if my corporation could afford to retain Skadden, haha.) On the upside, I think they pay the salary for a few LLVM guys.<p>We digress. Support other startups, if you have a startup - use Tarsnap. ;)<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;technology&#x2F;2013&#x2F;may&#x2F;29&#x2F;apple-tax-profits-ireland-cork" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;technology&#x2F;2013&#x2F;may&#x2F;29&#x2F;apple-tax-...</a> (The Guardian <i>does</i> have a bit of a liberal slant, FYI.
