Governments HAVE the resources. They CHOOSE to not spend it on R&D.

    But taxing the rich would give them even MORE resources

    That they also won't use on R&D. Or healthcare. Or housing. Or feeding people. Those things aren't shit for a lack of resources to fund them, they're shit for a lack of interest in funding them. That's not a problem you can fix with more money.
