American innovation doesn't pay

Neal Orkin, JD., assistant professor of legal studies at Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business, had an opinion piece titled “American Innovation Doesn’t Pay” published in the Philadelphia Inquirer. In it, he writes that the Obama administration’s proposal to bring back a research and development tax credit for employers that expired in 2009 is a poor idea. “Unfortunately, the credit didn’t work before, and it’s doomed to fail again,” he writes. “Corporations don’t invent or innovate. Creative human beings do.”
