I could go on and on forever with the advantages of having America invent the Internet and the Trillions it's put into our economy. The techologies that are just around the corner that will be started here in the USA will be astounding in the next 20 years. Medicine alone will be worth billions upon billions.

You're still talking short-term benefits here. I won't argue that we haven't seen the most benefit from the internet so far. However, to assume that just because we came up with it we will always have control over it is shortsighted at best and foolhardy at worst. All I can say is that if you are planning strategy for a company based on the assumption that we'll always be the best, you've got a rough ride coming.
P.S. I have no idea what Coors can silo you're referring to.
