The masses are being punked by Repuke and Repuke Lite.

[European Socialist]

Our State and Local Governments have to pay incentives to keep industries and to lure new ones-they could agree to halt this practice and save billions.

[LiberalEsto]

1. Don't you understand?

Welfare is for corporations, not people

[Goblinmonger]

3. Silly Rabbit n/t

[EC]

2. It's called Corporate Welfare

and to them it's needed...But if the states would get together and say no, the industries would have no alternatives but to pay up like the rest of us...

[CWebster]

4. Oh, but don't make a fuss, don't rock the boat

Mind your place and don't be an "obstructionist" and in the spirit of bi-partisanship, obey the Republicans, otherwise they might attack and bully and then, why, that would be "unelectible".

To those who advocate Repub-lite as the centrist winning formula:

Well then, keep on losing and quit yer grippin'. Have to wonder if that isn't what you really want all along.

[applegrove]

5. Corporations also love regulations that favour them: private property

laws, intellectual property laws, a low interest rate policy by all the World's governments to combat inflation, laws to make the US dollar very well respected, & more.

The enforcement of these laws costs billions. So if the regulation helps a corporation .. it is allowed!
