how about if these companies just 1) obtained their own funding from PRIVATE sources, 2) developed their own concepts/ideas/technology from PRIVATE sources, 3) paid the people that work for them and did not rely on taxpayer support?, 4) paid for their own infrastucture costs? How about it.

Oracle pays a few billion per year in taxes total. No more. That means that should be the CAP on any infrastructure improvements the USA provides for Oracle. When foreign workers travel back and forth and require all this security at SF airport, charge oracle for it. Same with providing healthcare for their "undocumented workers". A simple matter of paying your own bills. You do it, I do it, big companies should have to do it.

Or maybe you know better than Warren Buffett and Lou Dobbs. I'd love to see Oracle relocated to your neighborhood, you can rename it "little bombay".
