Oh How I HATE The Wealthy.

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I'm not religious myself. But that doesn't mean that such people are incapable of intelligent thought. I will show you a clip of what some religious leaders had to say about capitalism. Which you in your Trumpitude seem to be all about.

Huge capitalist in your video says what?

 

[Jim H - VA USA]

Hilarious..

When you worked in the corporate world for 42 years and then retired, was it a poor guy who paid you?

 

[Highlight]

I have no problem giving tax breaks to people that make money, I have problems with the government being a charity to poors.

Fucking retard. The Constitution said "We The People." Not "We The Rich People." Maybe you could learn something from this video clip.

 

[braalian]

We need stricter laws with harsher penalties for the wealthy who cheat on their taxes or are caught embezzling or engaging in insider trading. They should be thrown in with the gang members.

Not providing personal information
But my state and local taxes were well over $10k

More than $30k?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Most people live paycheck to paycheck. But I am guessing you knew that. Which means I am guessing you are a scumbag. I will give you a lesson in the value of money. Not that I expect it to do any good.

The wealthy are filthy parasites. One and ALL! They don't contribute to society. They feed off it!

Just a guess but are you a loser who has no wealth?

 

[Nobody911]

And isn't that what politics is all about? The wealthy are filthy parasites. One and ALL! They don't contribute to society. They feed off it! This video clip speaks about one way in which that is done.

I have one more pertinent video for you. Through parody, it shows how the wealthy think. When Mel Brooks says that he loves his people, switch that in your mind to a wealthy person like Trump saying that he supports America. The video basically shows what the outcome is.



Also, given Trump's attacks on the poor, he apparently doesn't like welfare of any sort. But somehow, corporate welfare is ok. The filthy scum.

Small wealthy groups are always more powerful than large poor groups; that’s how it works in every society around the world.

Corporate subsidies or corporate welfare in the USA refer to government financial assistance, tax breaks, subsidies, or other favorable policies provided to private businesses or specific industries. These supports are ostensibly meant to promote economic growth, job creation, or other public benefits but often take various forms such as direct cash subsidies, tax credits, tax exemptions, government contracts, low-interest loans, or regulatory advantages 7.

Key Aspects of Corporate Welfare in the USA

The federal government spends approximately $181 billion annually on aid to businesses, which includes direct subsidies and indirect support 2.

Corporate welfare has historical roots dating back to the 19th century and became entrenched in the federal budget during the 1920s and 1930s with farm subsidies, later expanding to energy, manufacturing, broadband, aviation, and more 2.

Large corporations, including Fortune 500 companies, are among the biggest recipients, receiving grants, low-interest loans, tax loopholes, and exclusive government contracts 34.

Examples include subsidies through programs like the Advanced Technology Program (ATP) and bailouts such as those during the 2008 financial crisis 57.

Criticisms of Corporate Welfare

Economic inefficiency and market distortion: Corporate welfare is criticized for creating dependency on government aid, distorting free markets, and promoting central planning rather than competition 26.

Political corruption and cronyism: Critics argue that corporate welfare fosters political corruption as corporations use lobbying and campaign donations to secure favorable treatment, creating a cycle of rent-seeking behavior 6.

Unfairness and inequality: Corporate welfare is often described as "socialism for the rich," where large corporations receive government support while ordinary welfare recipients face strict limits and work requirements 7. For example, welfare reforms have reduced rolls by 40%, but no similar reforms apply to corporate handouts 3.

Wastefulness and redundancy: Some government subsidies fund projects that would have occurred without aid or duplicate existing efforts, leading to inefficient use of taxpayer money 5.

Disproportionate benefits: Agricultural subsidies, for instance, disproportionately benefit large agribusiness corporations rather than small farmers 7.

Summary

Corporate subsidies or welfare recipients in the USA are primarily large corporations and industries receiving billions in government aid through various financial and tax incentives. The practice faces significant criticism for fostering economic inefficiency, political corruption, unfairness, and wasteful spending, with calls from some policymakers and watchdog groups to reduce or reform these subsidies to promote fairer and more efficient economic policies 2357.

Among Fortune 500 firms, the industries benefiting most from federal subsidies are:

Industrial and Aerospace: Boeing leads with nearly $16 billion in government subsidies since 2000, largely from Washington State’s preferential tax rates and substantial support from the Defense Department and Export-Import Bank 145.

Technology and Media: Companies like Intel ($8.4 billion), Amazon ($5.9 billion), Micron Technology ($6.8 billion), Foxconn ($4.8 billion), Texas Instruments ($4.3 billion), and Walt Disney ($2.6 billion) have received significant subsidies, including tax credits, abatements, and grants 12.

Automotive: Ford Motor ($7.7 billion), General Motors ($7.5 billion), Volkswagen ($4.1 billion), Tesla ($2.8 billion), and Stellantis ($2.8 billion) are major recipients of subsidies, reflecting government support for the automotive sector 1.

Energy: Firms such as Cheniere Energy ($5.6 billion), Venture Global LNG ($4.3 billion), Sempra Energy ($3.8 billion), NRG Energy ($3.4 billion), NextEra Energy ($3.4 billion), and Sasol ($2.8 billion) benefit from energy-related subsidies including clean energy and fossil fuel programs 1.

Defense and Military Contractors: Companies like Lockheed Martin, United Technologies, Honeywell, Raytheon, and General Electric receive tens of millions in grants from the Pentagon and Energy Department, with Boeing also receiving large loans and guarantees through the Export-Import Bank 5.

In summary, the top industries receiving the most federal subsidies among Fortune 500 companies are aerospace/industrial, technology/media, automotive, energy, and defense contractors, with Boeing, Intel, Ford, and General Electric among the largest beneficiaries 15.

Ah, finally. Somebody who gets it! That's refreshing.


Screw your BS. Give post #189 a whirl. Then go over to the economics section and check out my thread, "Trump: Economic Traitor."

I gave you facts, you replied with stupids. Try again.

One thing is certain, they shouldn’t be allowed to buy politicians, as they do today.

Our government has become of by and for the extremely wealthy. Somehow many Americans haven’t figured this out.

They can’t…the half breed vagina just proved that…It had $2 billion dollars and ALL of Hollywood’s elites and it still couldn’t beat an old orange finger raping felonious geezer with really bad hair…hahahaha

Billionaires should be taxed until they are millionaires.

Yes…we should penalize our best most productive for being our best most productive…Father Government should FORCE them to fund our degenerates and illegal brown parasites.

Billionaires should be taxed until they are millionaires.

And the government types get their skim and become the billionaires.
