The Usurper: corporations are the biggest recipients of government handouts (and therefore evade true market competition)
Without corporate hand outs our price for gas here would be $8 a gallon instead of the $2 it is right now.... what the "tax the rich" liberals dont understand is that when the government pays them to keep our gas prices down, most of the money does come from the rich, and the poor, who dont pay any taxes, dont end up paying anything to get lower oil prices...
BUT, if instead, the government didnt give these hand outs, and we let the market be free, gas prices would be $8 for everyone, including the poor people!
Talking for a true free market, then complaining when some company sends jobs to china???? Or is it only a free market with protection that you want?????
Liberals.... say one thing, mean another... want one thing ask for another....
