Your point: That only Government can come up with new technology.

Patently false.

a great many things we use daily were invented at a government mandated basic science research institute, namely bell labs.  said labs now focus on "immediately marketable technologies", rather the basic science and material physics research they once did.

And a great many MORE things were invented privately. Such as the pen that started this whole line of reasoning, and FAR too many more to list. Please read my statement again, I've bolded the relevant section.
