Your post illustrates it really is about nothing more than the free money.
Of course it is.

A search engine is reasonably simple tech, no matter how hard google and others want to make it look -- I dare say that at least 90% of the subscribers to CP could write a search engine every bit as effective as google's (especially given how many man hours it took them to build it)

This is about people not paying their taxes, and therefore leaving other people to make up the difference.

If it's just one guy not paying 30,000 a year, fair enough, but we're talking about billions per year, which normal Joes have to pay, because google/starbucks/etc think they deserve free money.

Money is being cut from education, care for the elderly, etc, because of greedy foreign ****ers who don't pay their way -- so yeah, it's all about that money.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
