Because they screw their employers without their permission. That's rape, right?

Name one thing invented by Government that helped boost our GDP or created an industry and thus jobs.
Quite true but virtually all of those advances and many more were less the result of grants than DARPA prize money. Government rewarded research is much more effective than government funded research.Name one thing invented by Government that helped boost our GDP or created an industry and thus jobs.
Umm the internet? Integrated cirsuits, super glue, Satellites, the list goes on and on.
Without govt funded research we would not have many things we now take for granted.

Corporations want fewer laws regarding clean air, clean water and safety.
We know as air and water quality decrease, birth defects increase.
We know as safety regulations are removed, more people are maimed.
So you could say, "Republicans support birth defects". And, "Republicans support injury".
We already know they want to phase out support and health care for poor children. Is there a "theme" here?

Tang was invented by General Mills, not the government.

The ability to carry on long-distance telephone conversations did not happen overnight. It doesn't link back to one specific NASA invention -- improved telecommunication took place over decades of work.
Before humans were sent into space, NASA built satellites that could communicate with people on the ground about what outer space was like. Using similar satellite technology, around 200 communication satellites orbit the globe each day. These satellites send and receive messages that allow us to call our friends in Beijing when we're in Boston. NASA monitors the locations and health of many of these satellites to ensure that we can continue to talk to people around the corner or overseas.
When you're sucking up bits of dirt or crumbs around the house with a handheld cordless vacuum, you are actually using the same technology that astronauts used on the moon. Although Black & Decker had already invented the first battery-powered tools in 1961 [source: NASA], the NASA-related research helped refine the technology that led to lightweight, cordless medical instruments, hand-held vacuum cleaners and other tools.
In the mid-1960s, to prepare for the Apollo missions to the moon, NASA needed a tool that astronauts could use to obtain samples of rocks and soil. The drill had to be lightweight, compact and powerful enough to dig deep into the surface of the moon. Since rigging up a cord to a drill in outer space would be a difficult feat, NASA and Black & Decker invented a battery-powered, magnet-motor drill [source: NASA Science and Technology Information]. Working in the context of a limited space environment, Black & Decker developed a computer program for the tool that reduced the amount of power expended during use to maximize battery life.
After the NASA project, Black & Decker applied the same principles to make other lightweight, battery-powered tools for everyday consumers.
