It's hard to find a major industry today whose principal investments were not first made by the government - in aerospace, telecommunications, biotechnology and agribusiness. Government research and development money funds the drug and pharmaceutical industry. Government research and development funds are given freely to corporations, but they don't announce it in ads the next day. Corporate welfare has never been viewed as debilitating. Nobody talks about imposing workfare requirements on corporate welfare recipients or putting them on a programme of 'two years and you're out'.
Nobody talks about aid to dependent corporations.
It's all talked about in terms of 'incentives'. Corporate sports are being subsidised by cities. Corporations have perfected socialising their losses while they capitalise on their profits. Their executives looted, speculated and defrauded people of their savings - and then turned to Washington for a bailout. Foreign and domestic corporations can go on our land out West.
