Someone sent this to me and I found it very interesting. It gives a whole new meaning to ENTITLEMENT.

1. America is not going down the tubes.
2. That is an egregious waste of taxpayer money.
3. But so is corporate welfare.
I will agree on 2 out of the three. The idea that we are not in serious decline is a very hard sell here.
I'll believe this when the Visigoths (or Canadians) attack from the north.
It is an egregious waste of taxpayer money.
I am not generally a fan of what would appear to be deflection by means of using a separate issue, but then again it isn't really separate considering that the only difference is the perceived 'respectability' of the recipients. The problem even bigger than the original problem in corporate welfare is that this is the one element that makes it impossible for small business to compete since they do not have in-house lobbying and panhandling departments. Without this, the local farmer would reign supreme in food production and smaller local manufacturers who are capable of much closer watch over their own businesses could compete very well as opposed to losing out as they have to compete not only with competitors but also the tax money that is given to the competitors favored by the .gov.
I also believe that there is a place for gov't support of new, vital industries to help give them a leg up.
There are too many people with this kind of attitude, they can justify it in their head that it's ok to receive money for nothing. They need to have steps in place every month for people to continue getting these handouts.
