He funds the creation of Facebook

Facebook employs 300-ish people

Facebook has created depending on how you attribute them, probably well in excess of 100,000 jobs. Meaning zynga and their employees, their vendors and contractors.

Meaning every maker of Facebook apps that killed it and their contractors an vendors.

Meaning everyone that crushed it with spending over $1,000,000,000.00+ USD on facebook advertising per year and grew their business and hired more people

Meaning all the companies the embraced the worlds number one social media platform, used it well and grew their companies to employ more people etc etc etc

Facebook has certainly brought billions into the US economy thanks to Mr Saverin. But that's not enough for you yards right? He still owes you?

In spite of such obvious facts, the poor and uneducated would like to tell him to how much more he owes the State. That's a very creepy, Stalinist/Leninist, Maoist, Marxist, dictatorial attitude that has failed very nation who fully embraced that thinking. Even china abandoned that idiocy and it's insane that Americans would embrace it. We have no debt to the state other than embracing and defending the ideals on which it was founded and most don't even do that unless they're newly immigrated in which case their usually just to busy out working all you far, lazy fucks to think about it.

How about this... How about we start trying to create conditions conducive to creating the next Facebook rather than chasing money and citizens out of the country. At the end of the day, your petty "you owe me" attitude is going to be the reason the US loses economically to smaller and developing nations who are trying grow by creating a climate for growth, a climate to attract bright people and a climate that attracts wealth.
