So would you rather have your taxes increased so that it is from the government?

Would you not be making the same statement if it was a federally funded, just with a word replaced?

It will increase my taxes anyway; who do you think is paying for all this?

The difference is, that in this way, my taxes pay for privately-held know-how. I want my taxes to pay for public know-how.
