Do you think it is time to get these social parasites off the public dole?
BTW what is coperate welfare?
Why is a second thread on this being started when one already exists with a full discussion happening?
Ohhh... I apologize Gabriel. I misread the title. This thread is talking about corporate welfare. Didn't catch that.![]()
What do you mean by unamerican?
Subsidizing the oil industry for example.. Clearly these are the most profitable companies on the planet .. why does the public have to give them even more money on top of all the profit they make by selling things they paid less for to the public? Or not paying for pollution like most everyone else does.
define corporate welfare
Any grant or subsidy given to a corporation with taxpayers' money.
A huge recent example -- Obama's bailouts to the banks and auto companies.
Other examples:
Publicly funded industrial parks -- whether by federal, state or local funding.
Grants given by states, counties, or municipalities to corporations to build plants in the state or local area, obstensibly to create jobs. FACT: These create only a few jobs, and they often turn away the local people and bring in favored people from elsewhere who consume the jobs and salaries and also bring their families to consume the local public services. The local people who pay the taxes get screwed.
Libs whine about corporate welfare apparently to deflect the well deserved criticism that leftwingers have created and expanded the welfare class. Expanding jobs and so forth is hardly as pernicious as creating dependent dem voters who are a drain on society

yes it is; government has no business picking winners in the economy.
Nonsense... Welfare has nothing to do with politics or the fed government. It's State, county, or city temporary assistance for people who can't find work for reasons they have no control over. Just be glad your not in the same boat.
Next time read up on it before you make a fool out of yourself.

If corporate welfare means bailing out a failing business-hard to say.
If corporate "welfare" means say the City of Cincinnati agrees to tax breaks so that Proctor and Gamble keeps its HQ in Cincinnati rather than moving it and 10,000 jobs to Atlanta, that is clearly a quid pro quo and not really welfare.

How about the millions ADM gets every year despite being profitable?
It's a bribe.
So Eisenhower was a leftwinger?
corporations have power-its called negotiating from a position of power. so do governments. So waht is your problem

Wrong on both counts. TARP funding was done under the Bush Adminisration and the money was LOANED to the auto indusrty, most of which has already been repaid. Why is it that most "Libertarians" can't even get the basic facts correct?
