Comment on Trump Administration Weighs Patent System Overhaul to Raise Revenue

Comments

Hey you know how the government can raise revenue? Tax the billionaires!

This is a stupid proposal.

Why is it stupid? The patent holders that would pay the most are billionnaires, right? Either humans, or corporations. Don’t you think this is good?

Accounting games will mean they don’t pay. Just raise the corporate tax rate instead. Likely will hurt smaller companies.
