I can go on...
Their are $1.2 Trillion annually in corporate tax subsidies... should we compare that to the cost of welfare?

Wealthy people are wealthy because they GIVE, not because they take.
I am not a big proponent of corporate welfare, but in many cases it helps our economy by incentivizing investment and propping up prices.
But absolutely nothing good ever comes from welfare. It is a pure waste. The cost of welfare is ginormous and dwarfs everything else. The reason because not only do you lose all of the money, but because you take millions of otherwise productive people and turn them into parasites. And this way of life is then passed on to subsequent generations. And now we are in the mess that we are in because of these government ptograms. Why be productive.. when you can get paid for doing nothing?
