Yeah, the old tax everyone else, but you're supposed to stay out if my pocket! After all, everyone's else money belongs to everyone, but my money is mine!

Brin founded Google with the PageRank patent, of which the idea was lifted from another inventor that said that internet search that relied on a system of citations similar to peer-reviewed journals would achieve better search results.

He then went on a war against the patent system in the US when he decided that patents were standing between him and his ability to launch Android, which used the technology of many inventors packaged into a phone that had IP that he didn't want to pay for. He gave a ton of money to Obama and Congress to pass the America Invents Act, which resulted in very significantly weakening the patent system's ability to protect small business and independent entrepreneurs, and opened the door for Sand Hill Road companies to run rough-shod over the patent office using Chicago style politics, all while Michelle Wie, former Head of Patents at Google, allowed blatant corruption in the new patent review processes to run wild. By the time Brin, Google, Cisco, and Apple were done transforming the patent office, the PageRank patent would never have been enforceable under the new legal reality.

Brin can go F himself with a giant bag of rubber Richards. I despise him and his ilk as much as any other human beings on the planet. He started Google with the idea of "Don't be evil". He failed.

Leftists are myopic hypocrites that should be ridiculed and mocked at every opportunity unless and unti the repent of their reckless and destructive beliefs.

He was good with it all until this tax.

Just a Trojan horse to tax everyone.
