All apologists

I wasn't surprised, when reading this piece by Robert Scheer, that American corporations don't pay their taxes.  Pissed off, yes, but surprised, no.  But what is surprising is the number of apologists for worthless U.S. corporations in the comments section.  But when I thought about it, rank and file republicans are a lot like corporations--corporations want our military to protect them, our public schools to educate their workers, our roads to get their workers to and from work, their products across America...but unlike the rest of us, they think they're entitled to these and shouldn't have to pay for it.  Rank and file republicans want Medicare and to collect Social Security, and they, too, make use of our roads and our military...and they, too, want the rest of us (but heaven forbid themselves) to pay for their public services.

Welfare queens, indeed.

Peace,
