No I didn't cherry pick anything
"land grants" were just what I said, giving away land they took from
the indians.
Still a subsidy.
I saw them say "loans" but I didn't see any examples.
I have never heard about Carnegie, Vanderbilt or Morgan taking out any
government loans. They had more money than the government.
No but they got subsidies.
Low taxes and less regulation is just the government getting out of
the way, not them doing anything in a positive way.
Tariffs really were not even relevant in the industries in the
article. The industries were American designed and built, without any
real foreign competition.
No, they are subsidies.
I call False equivalency
You are trying to compare a loan nobody took a gift of land the
government didn't own and tariffs for products the company didn't make
with a fat check from the tax payers.
Nope, not true. After they stole the land, the U.S. did indeed "own" it,
then gave it to the RR companies. That's a subsidy.
