When government acts for business

[Guns Guns Guns]

Corporate welfare is a term describing a government's bestowal of money grants, tax breaks, or other special favorable treatment on businesses.


Subsidies considered excessive, unwarranted, wasteful, unfair, inefficient, or bought by lobbying are often called corporate welfare.


The label of corporate welfare is often used to decry projects advertised as benefiting the general welfare that spend a disproportionate amount of funds on large corporations, and often in uncompetitive, or anti-competitive ways.


For instance, in the United States, agricultural subsidies are usually portrayed as helping honest, hardworking independent farmers stay afloat. However, the majority of income gained from commodity support programs actually goes to large agribusiness corporations such as Archer Daniels Midland, as they own a considerably larger percentage of production.


Some economists consider the recent bank bailouts in the United States to be corporate welfare.


U.S. politicians have contended that zero-interest loans from the Federal Reserve to financial institutions during the global financial crisis were a hidden, backdoor form of corporate welfare.

You're a legend in your own mind Yurt.

I agree, sadly epicurious is too poor to put his new found knowledge to use.

no, i'm a legend in YOUR mind

:D

[Yurt]

Yurt has no mind, Holden.


:lol:



All he has are infantile ad homs.



In the meantime, adults can discuss issues.



When the Tea Party starts cutting corporate subsidies and tax breaks I'll believe they are serious about reducing spending.

yet your post is nothing but infantile ad homs...."Yurt has no mind"....LOL

funny how that works huh legion....btw...how did it make you feel when the admin deleted your "Yurt" account and gave it to me at that one message board

:)

[Yurt]

You're pathetic.

Not only are you infantile, but delusional as well.

Care to defend the government subsidies and tax breaks that are the subject of the thread, or will you resort to your usual BS, baby-brain?

wait...you are asking others to drop the ad homs....while you do nothing but ad hom

:lol:

are you mad because no one took your lame copycat thread seriously? are you mad because you can't help but insult?

some advice....

if you want to be taken seriously or have a thread taken seriously, don't mimic another thread. make it your own. this thread looks like nothing but a cheap shot at another poster. you are the who could have made this a serious thread, instead, you decided to use the thread title to throw a pot shot at another poster.
