You are telling us government pays for the research and development of a pizza! That is a little over the top assertion, don't you think? Show us some form of documentation that is the case.
I know that government will pay for R&D for medical cures, vaccinations, and that sort of thing but for you to claim this extends to pizza is nothing more than you taking an opportunity to mix in hyperbole.
Do you work for Fox News?
No, not Dominoes. It was a general statement. The USG did fund the R&D on shrimp on treadmills ($700 million) and a laundry robot that takes 25 minutes to fold a towel.
Why do we have the USG funding stuff like this ? Companies should fund their own advertising and their own R&D.

Well then, show us some documentation that government funded R&D for your above examples. I am betting that was generated also by hyperbole for propagandist purposes.

You must have missed it but there was a thread on that.
Just google shrimp on treadmills.
Both the tea party and OWS have railed against corporate welfare. IMO only the conservative tea partiers have a solution to the problem. By limiting the scope and size of gov't we can limit the ability of gov't to dole out largess. Generally OWS does not wish to make government smaller. As long as government is as big and powerful as it is now, people will find ways to channel it to their benefit.

Well I provided the proof and it was no "propaganda piece" but told by a Senator from OK.
I'm sure the dominoes story is but the tip of the iceberg.
The Government pays for advertising and R&D as well for these companies.
Is that really the job of the government ? I know they should create a favorable environment for business but to pay the tab as well ? USG finances are in no condition to be subsidizing these things.
lol..they do R&D for Dominoes . a failed endeavor, I'd say.
This whole concept is insane. mediocre restaurants should fail. Why is USG doing these bailouts while we have trillions in debt?
I am so in agreement that this is unethical and should be illegal....
LOL..heaven forbid a company pay for it's own advertising.
And there's no programs that Congress can find to cut eh ?
Shrimp on treadmills and paying for Dominoe commercials.
Yup..just up our taxes cause revenues are falling a bit short.
Big Government doesn't cause these problems; Big Money does.
GET THE MONEY OUT OF GOVERNMENT!!
