Subsidies have been abused under the current corrupt crony capitalist system. However, do you have any idea of what different subsidies are and why they are offered to begin with?

I'll give you a hint. Some are cash handouts of tax payer dollars, writing checks, to support unviable industries such as wind and solar while others are in the form of tax breaks, or allowing businesses to keep more of their own earnings, which encourages certain businesses to expand and grow and help the country or community.

If wind and solar studies were taken to see if they were cost efficient they would never been okayed .

"College was cheap back in the day"? So were wage earners salries!

And we didn't have a bunch of overpaid professional indoctrinators. Socrates once said: "Those that can do, DO. Those that cannot do, teach".

And who the hell mentioned POTUS Trump??? Except you!

The second is to make it illegal for any state or local governments to offer tax abatements to any company.

If it doesn't bother you to have your tax money educate children or provide the poor with nutritious food then maybe we should change the laws so you can donate as much as you want and more and not have it taken by taxing us by force. You can then give as much as you like and those that don't want to don't have to.

Actually I believe it was the churches and other organizations that looked after the poor and sick and widows then along comes the government and said we can do better and they took over from there .

Yes... the point I was trying to make is if Kevie boy really feels the way he posted, why don't we get the laws changed to reduce those taxes that support those programs and Kevie can donate to his heart's content like many others already do. Then the ones who don't want to give aren't being forced to give through higher taxes.

But Kevie would never do that because he's a hypocrite.

The church uses tax exemption to line their own pockets
