They would have much more success if they rather were to (among other things): - lower taxes substantially, - amend/abolish ridiculous labor laws which are killing startups, to allow to hire and fire personnel more freely, - stop throwing taxpayers' money at "projects" and rather lower taxes when they have too much money :), - abolish VAT (probably the worst kind of tax in terms of negatively affecting economy).

Intellectuals? WOW! I guess it is time to update dictionaries on the meaning of this word: INTELLECTUAL, noun: an arrogant person who refuses to engage in any activities of value to other people and instead insists that whatever he/she damn pleases to do "for a living" should be paid for by coercing everyone else into paying them (via taxation).

Why do not you let go of the taxpayer teat and do something useful for a change, for which people will pay you voluntarily instead of being coerced via "taxation"?

By the way, the ridiculousness of how much the title (and the content) of this article is misleading (budget cuts turned into some "evil anti-science crusade") tells a lot about these "scientists", that they will stop at noting and will pervert the facts as they need to in order to suck some more money from the taxpayer.

What's "real science"? Something which no one needs and therefore such "scientists" can only do their "valuable" "real science" at the expense of the taxpayer? REAL real scientists do not need to burden the taxpayer as the value of their work is recognized by businesses and is rewarded accordingly.

+1. Every business should learn from these companies and do the same to hopefully end some day the legalized extortion statists call "taxes".

It is unbelievable that a concept of jobs "belonging" to anyone (natives or whomever) still exists in 21st century. Free market rules :)

I'm glad to see that some responsible and wealthy individuals are willing to stand up too those green fascists. :) (red, green, nazi, they are all the same in the end)

Good! Starve that bureaucratic beast! The more companies do this, the better.
