Re: And who will pay ?

"Companies don't *have* to be sold."

Yes, this! If a company has something innovative, why not sell non-voting shares to raise capital? That way rich foreign companies can invest, and reap the rewards when the company grows and makes more profits. There's no need to sell the whole company and export the technology and IP so the founder can retire, take a knighthood and rest on their laurels for the rest of their lives.
