Pay attention to where your tax dollars are going. It isn't to the
single mom struggling to raise her kids. How about $1 billion to
Walmart? $12 billion to Microsoft? The list goes on. Before I worry
about people struggling, I'd like to see some severe campaign finance
reform. IMHO, that's the problem.

You idiots, and I use the term idiots purposefully, have got to think
before you demonize corporations.

Corporations provide a place for your retirement funds to grow to
support you when you retire.

Corporations contract with other corporations.

Corporations employ individuals, individuals pay taxes.

Individuals buy things from other corporations, those other corporations
employ individuals who pay taxes.

I am glad that corporations exist.

I am glad that the government encourages corporations, via tax relief or
grants, to grow and expand and employ more individuals.

Corporations are good.

No one is saying they are bad. I am saying corporate welfare is bad.
You state "We need to dump entitlements and make people
responsible for their own wants and needs." What makes corporations
different? If welfare recipients become dependent on the government
teat, what makes corporations different? You think corporate welfare
makes companies leaner and meaner? Your delusional. You think corporate
welfare allows companies to employ more individuals? Your delusional.

Be your own man, Don. You're old enough to do so.

Our own little Gordon Gekko...how nice.

It's just wonderful that we grant welfare to corporations so they can
shut down US operations, fire US workers and hire slave labor overseas.

Poor Harry, never owned a share of stock, never owned any mutual fund
shares, never invested in a retirement plan owning mutual fund
shares...what a crying shame.

Of course, that lobsta' boat is probably appreciating significantly!

What is the unemployment rate for each year over the last 20 years? Has
it changed dramatically? With all of the jobs going overseas why hasn't
our unemployment rate gone to 50%?

Industries come and industries go, where have all of the buggy and buggy
whip manufacturers gone?

This will work: money grants, tax breaks, or other special favorable
treatment from governmental entities to corporations.

I believe you were one of the chosen few who was ever offered an outing and
you spit in Harrys' face.

All tools to get the corporations to do what the government wants, why
is this a problem to you. You really are a quite a bit dim at times.
