Here: from a textbook titled "Social Problems" by Macionis - 4th Edition: on Corporate Welfare.
Just for you . . . because you seem to be the one NOT understanding what IS "corporate Welfare"
(Chapter 10 - pg 268)
(Chapter 10 - pg 271)
Talk about dependency, hunh? It's not just occasional support for a few businesses here and there. It's repeated support for the SAME ONES over and over - and in the same industries.
So - tell me - if corporations are SO large and SO wonderful - why do they fail? Not just once - but twice, three times? Where is their cutoff or capped bailout limit (there is none).
The auto industry RAKES IN Billions every year in self-driving profit through auto and parts sales, etc. But that's NOT ENOUGH for them - they KEEP failing.
Same thing with banks - they KEEP failing.
And that's acceptable to you? Continual bailout for the same bull**** inability to MANAGE their fat-cash-cow business well? Why isn't their profit of Billions every year SUFFICIENT? Why do they KEEP failing?
But - in your mind - if a FAMILY runs into a hard time - they don't deserve ANYTHING at all? No housing assistance, no food, nothing?
Why not - what makes a failing and incapable corporation *so special* but a small group of people *so worthless* to you?
And if you're claiming that these business provide a necessity or employ people - you can suck it - their continual FAILURE is why we have had so many problems in the last century. Their "benefit" seems to outweigh their "good" - and they could care less about the lives they force their chunked employees INTO when they fold and close up shop. So - it doesn't even matter to them, either.
so the auto industry doesn't have unions pushing for that
total FAIL on our part It was the UNIONS that pushed for the GM bailout
and who gets hurt the most if a bank fails
and where have i supported bailouts
seems I am not the one with understanding problems
