Why aren't fiscal conservatives more passionate about corporate welfare?

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Given that entitlements are about to bankrupt the US government, not corporate welfare (whatever that is) I'd say conservatives have their priorities pretty straight.

You don't think the Wall Street bail out and the GM bail out and Savings and Loan bail out of the 1980s has contributed to the slow bankruptcy of America?

Because they aren't really fiscal conservatives. They just like to tell people they are in order to win votes.

Why are liberals not screaming over the corporate welfare of ethanol subsidies and "investments" in green energy? These are huge forms of corporate welfare and yet they seem to favor them.

Liberals are screaming for this, but our vioces are not be recognized.

Yes, they are screaming FOR these thngs. That's the problem. Every Chevy Volt comes with about a 7,000 dollar tax subsidy from Uncle. Why is that even remotely fair?? Why should taxpayers be on the hook for that?
Let's hear your voice!

They and Chrysler shoulda' gone under. *PERIOD*

Meanwhile Mom and POP operations go tango uniform all over this Republic...Where's their relief?

No I live in a fucking bubble.

Exactly. Fiscal Conservatives don't take taxpayer funds to save their personal favs...

Welfare states.

And I guess I'll be the 1 to ask why Dems have done nothing to stop it when given the chance? Why Do both Dems/Reps expand stuff like that?

See my post on the prior page, and again on an earlier page. I proposed the same question myself, still no answer.

POLITICS...and the ability to get re-elected ONLY. It's never about what's in the best interest of the Republic and the Founding...

In short? Power. BOTH parties are outta touch.

Welfare states.

Which should never be. There is nothing wrong with giving citizens a hand UP (We used to have private charities for that purpose...)...it's when that net becomes a hammock, a lifestyle, and that lifestyle is used by politicians to garner power where it is a problem.

Why is anyone who hates republicans a troll?

That's not the reason he's a troll. I'm not too fond of Republicans myself. This guy just posts a lot of nonsense all the time in an attempt to provoke others into a desired emotional response. (Is "he" a Ravi sock puppet? Who knows.) Anyway, one has to admire the trolliness of the guy. He certainly stays in character.

Every corporation that doesnt pay any taxes or gets a refund back should be looked at as traiterous as far as I am concerned.
