Had to cut those food stamps--nope, that $8 billion was just too much. Can't approve an extension for all those poor bastards out of work thanks to the foolhardiness of Wall Street--can't afford that. Can't afford Obamacare, can't afford spending on our deteriorating infrastructure, can't afford to spend on universal pre-k, and definitely can't afford to give raises to teachers, firemen, and police officers. Hell, we can't even afford to take care of those who selflessly served our country.
Know what we can afford? $13.2 billion to Boeing. $5.6 billion to Alcoa. $3.9 billion to Intel. $3.5 billion to GM. $2.5 billion to Ford. In all, over $110 billion dollars in our taxes for subsidies to business, with 3 out of four dollars going to less than 1000 large corporations.
I think very few of us mind having our taxes used to help start up companies or to give tax breaks to small businesses. But billions of dollars to billion dollar entities? Socialism, my ass--let these fuckers make it or break it on their own.
Frankly, I can think of many much better uses for my tax dollars than padding the bottom line so incompetent boobs can get bigger bonuses from their corporate boards.
