Let's Talk About Handouts Folks

[ThisIsMe]

What is now MAGA started with Reagan. Reagan was good at one thing, race pimping low to moderate-income whites. He used welfare as a racial issue whereby he created the lie that “working-class whites” were paying their hard-earned money to support lazy, shiftless blacks who wanted nothing more than a free handout. That was race hustle 101.

“Corporate welfare often subsidizes failing and mismanaged businesses and induces firms to spend more time on lobbying rather than on making better products. Instead of correcting market failures, federal subsidies misallocate resources and introduce government failures into the marketplace.”

The problem with making welfare about nonwhites and poor white people is that wealthy whites get most of the government handouts and always have. People yell and scream about welfare to the poor because they have been race-baited to envision a black woman with many little kids looking different following her around like baby ducks. But the major recipients of welfare are white men wearing black and blue suits who get up every morning and drive to work in their Mercedes or Range Rovers.

“The American government spends more on corporate welfare than it does on food stamps and financial assistance for needy families with children.”

The extent of the bait and pimp strategy to divert the attention of working-class whites away from who was taking from them is legendary. Welfare has been used to race-hustle low to moderate-income whites into voting against their best interest. For most of the last 30 years, Americans from one party have put people into public office at nearly every level of government with a philosophy of “government is worthless” and “we must cut taxes for the rich.” These politicians souped up the white working class with claims of how everybody else is getting benefits on the white man’s dime.

Meanwhile they get billions in Government subsidies annually. I'm gong to list the top 25. But the link will be to the top 100.

Shouldn’t this be in the race relations forum??

You have no idea what you babble on about 100% of the time. An AVG number can often be misleading. Try median pay. Try a link. Try not posting at all you dumb OX.

"People" like this guy is who defend CEO pay is why America sucks.

[sealybobo]

Yeah, we dont do that and we are still in a debt that we can never pay back. Because all you leftist morons want to do is spend us into oblivion. Because fo your feelz.

I believe the first president to spend more than every other president before him was Reagan.

So don’t blame bush, Clinton, bush, Obama, trump or Biden for following your god Reagan.

President Reagan never said that. Nothing even close.That is your racist, hate filled interpretation. Nice strawman argument, though.

Hey shithead we all know you aren't a CEO so what do you have to gain by supporting extreme salary disparity?

But you have no problem with subsidies for green energy companies. Why is that?

How do you know he doesn't?

Reagan most definitely said that. He didn't use those exact words but this was his rationale for ending the "War on Poverty".

/---/ If you don't like CEO pay, attend a shareholder meeting and vote the pay scale down. Otherwise, shut your class envy piehole.

You don’t have the first clue on how corporate governance works. Only shareholders can vote add a shareholders meeting. Members of the general public cannot. And what the shareholders are voting for is is who sits on the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors determines executive compensation, the shareholders don’t vote on it

 

[Crepitus]

Yesterday I showed Republicans that Trump doubled the number of companies who now pay no taxes. Most of the Republicans here said they approve. Because companies will only shift the costs on to us. And rich people they say already pay 90% of the taxes. So it seems middle class Republicans are okay with the rich shifting the tax burden more onto them.

Just more proof they aren't the sharpest tacks in the box.

 

[Nostra]

Subsidies for start up industries using new technology?????? Yes, - by all means invest in jobs for the 21st Century.

Subsidies for Fortune 500 companies???? No fucking way!!!!

You don’t pay taxes here, so you have no say.

Go fix your shithole country.

Better grab some propane for that gas light. Record numbers during the current administration, and even "sanctuary cities" are bitching about the financial outcomes, use of resources and crime.

This is 2024 .. get in your time machine and fast forward about 50 years.

You're the one gasighting. We are not being invaded.

Canada is better in many ways that this country. And you wanto make it worse by putting Trump back in office.

 

[Nostra]

First off, the world doesn't "hate" the USA. That's the First Trumpian lie. Trump uses this lies to set up other lies. Your trading partners are "screwing you", your allies are "screwing you".

So Trump tore up your trade deals, and most of your strategic alliances, and stopped sending money to El Salvador and all of the Central American nations you were giving money to, and suddenly you have millions of refugees on your doorstep. Coincidence???? I think not.

If everyone in the world is taking advantage of you and screwing you over, why is the USA the richest, most powerful country in the World????? How did that happen if you were being treated so unfairly.

You need to start living in the real world. The USA has practiced a kind of corporate colonialism throughout the world. Instead of taking over countries, you bleed their economies white by planting American corporations who ship all of their profits home to the USA.

The most profitable company in Canada - Walmart. Those profits don't go to building wealth in Canada. Those profits get shipped home to the USA, where the Walton Family keeps getting richer. There are few areas in the world, where US corporations don't dominate. CocaCola, Disney, McDonalds, Walmart.

Stop listen to Trump's bullshit and lies about how you've been screwed over by everyone in the world. It's complete and utter BULLSHIT.

Aid to El Salvador went up under Trump, you lying sack of KKkanadian vermin shit.

Why do you lie in every post?
