Dig a well

Again, not an answer to the question.

 

[Obsessed]

Oh, okay.

Ventura did a deal on it a few years ago. It was pretty interesting.

So in reality you don't have a problem with "corporate welfare"?

I do actually. The bailouts being the most notable example.

Except all of the banks have paid that money back unlike GM.

The problem here is that you want to entrust the government to pick and choose the winners.

How so?

I wonder if lobbyists have anything to do with this?

How about a state or local government offering tax incentives to lure a factory into a depressed area?

Of course.

Do I consider it corporate welfare, yes. Do I see it ass acceptable, yes.

Is it corporate welfare or welfare for the residents of that area?

 

[Vol8188]

Is it corporate welfare or welfare for the residents of that area?

Corporate.

 

[hog88]

Corporate.

Are the residents of that area not benefiting as much or even more with the new jobs as the corporation?

Does McDonald's not benefit from their employees receiving welfare? Do you consider that corporate welfare?

 

[Gramps]

Aren't we preventing evolution by allowing those who can't care for themselves to survive and eventually procreate? Isn't it the natural order of things for the week to die off and the strong to survive?

Question #1.
It's too late you have already procreated.

Question #2.
What week do you plan on dying off?


Sorry hog, you left the door wide open .

I hope you and Mrs Hog has a Happy and Safe New Year. :hi:

Does McDonald's not benefit from their employees receiving welfare? Do you consider that corporate welfare?

No, is this a serious question?

 

[theFallGuy]

I certainly think they contribute but again, this comes back to the gov't. Can we really blame business for lobbying politicians when politicians write laws that effect negatively or positively certain industries? We should let the market decided who wins and loses.

 

[Vol8188]

No, is this a serious question?

My answer is: if you extrapolate welfare in the manner that you are attempting to do, then everyone is a welfare recepient.

It's like saying: if your uncle who receives social security and food stamps gives you a ten dollar gift card for Christmas.....then you are a welfare recipient.
