Reply #24: What about corporate welfare? [View All]

[theHandpuppet]

What should we demand of those who enjoy obscenely lavish lifestyles courtesy of corporate welfare and the labor of the poor?

Why is it that only the poor are considered recipients of "unearned" benefits, and those usually consisting of the basic necessities? I'd rather my tax dollars be spent putting food in the mouths of hungry children than be stuffed into the pockets of Enron and Halliburton.

Do we demand that the wealthiest among us perform "community service" for all they have received from this society? Is it the children of the wealthy who are serving and dying in endless corporate wars? Tell me what we will demand from them and then we can start talking about how we will punish the poor for a free meal.

Unbelievable.
