Rich People & Corporations Get Welfare, No Drug Tests

we've been talking a lot lately and we will talk later today with conservative activist phyllis schlafly about welfare benefits for or lower-middle-class and and lower-income individuals there's a really really good article on Huffington Post by Bill Quigley who is a law professor at Loyola University in New Orleans and also CCR associate legal director and he outlines very succinctly and very specifically sum up the welfare benefits that rich people and corporations are entitled to in this country and he talks about state and local subsidies to corporations we've heard about these extensively countless big corporations that paid no effective tax at all we've talked about direct federal subsidies to corporations the cato institute estimates that federal subsidies *** cost taxpayers around a hundred billion dollars every year federal tax breaks for corporations federal tax breaks listen to this for wealthy hedge fund managers which allow them to pay only a 15 percent rate while the people they earned the money for usually pay something like 35 percent on their earnings %ah subsidies for the fast food industry mortgage deduction which is ok or something that cost taxpayers seventy billion dollars and is skewed significantly towards wealthier individuals who own property billions that be are are involved in the bailout of Wall Street major pieces of legislation containing new welfare for example the emergency tax legislation passed by Congress in early 2013 huge corporations that are basically allowed to do things that are legal but there is a blind I turn to them as we see very few people ever prosecuted for for Wall Street type high-level ride corruption crime and then all these tiny little tax breaks and extra things that are available subsidies for corporate jets talk about something that really is just for the wealthy and the funny thing lewis's are we drug testing as a matter of policy big corporations and rich people before giving them these welfare benefits no we're not are we saying that these welfare benefits are hurting the economy because their point was spending no are we saying the recipients are lazy and saying why do they deserve a tax break on the corporate jet we're not saying that and the bottom line also when we think about the economic effect is is a tax break on a private jet s stimulative as putting that same amount of money into food stamps obviously not what what should we be calling this Louis maybe welfare that's a pretty good one yeah I just like corporate welfare to you that's got a nice ring to it I I can't even fathom the amount of money that that we would I don't know how s save I guess if it these corporations in these wealthy people were taxed I in a way that makes sense I think our financial woes would be pretty minimal and there's no reason to drug test any of them because of course really rich people with access to whatever they want they never used drugs Louis do that I think it'd be a pretty shocking amount to have but *** abuse that you discover it you were if you were to start saddam drug testing all those banksters
