Are you getting too paranoid?  Maybe not.  I quit following the news 
because I think most are fearmongering and not talking and working on 
the real problems.

I personally do not like the H1B visas because I do not think they are 
necessary. If there is really a shortage of tech workers then why is 
there not a few major tech universities?  Why does Gates exploit the H1B 
and not create a really great tech university?  And why do the 
politicians allow all of this?

We have all we need right here in our 50 states, so why do we not do 
things that benefit ourselves and possibly others?

These people like Michael Dell, Bill Gates, etc have forgotten where 
they came from.

QUESTION?

I understand TSMC produces the most chips in the world, and is located 
in Taiwan .  Where did they get that technology and who paid for that 
technology?
