I wonder how much Stephed Gass (SawStop's inventor, BTW) has contributed to
Obama's re-election campaign. *

Billions.

That's not how it works. The guy has a new and improved mouse trap,
he's a lawyer and he knows how to work the system.

If you or I came up with a new and improved mouse trap that's related
to safety, has potentially many millions in sales, and we stuck with
it for many years, we could have our own legislation, too.
