Jerry, do you know anyone on Welfare? Any family members...friends? Veterans?
Secondly, Corporations want government to effectively give them money by reducing their tax burden to zero in a perfect world. They argue that this will drive innovation and boost the economy. However, these same corporations and people who support those schemes say that by providing people with enough food to eat, and with housing, and modest spending money...just enough to live really...the argument is that this stifles innovation and is a drain on the economy. So money to Corporations is Good. Money to people , is bad. On the one hand it drives innovation, on the other having more people not destitute hurts the economy. The nation of America would best be served by ensuring that as many people as possible are destitute, poor, homeless, and struggling...while Corporations innovate. It is this ass backward "logic" that baffles me. And all this even after the whole notion of "Austerity measures" was found to be a massive con, and it has now clearly been accepted that cutting benefits of the average person, and placing people into poverty does NOT help an economy.
