My brother regional manager of 5 restaurants and I asked him how many of his kitchen staff are on public assistance. He said most of the non students were, about half. So the government is subsidizing corporations, i.e. corporate welfare. He got mad when I told him that.
Why should your brother or, for that matter, the taxpayer be responsible for the fat lazy slobs on his staff who can't support their six or eight fat lazy children sprawled on the couches and floors in their public assistance housing?
Just like the Brits sending missionaries to China and weeping over their pagan souls then fighting two wars to force China to allow them to import opium rather than allowing the mere government of China to restrain Free Trade. Meh, only a hundred million or so Chinese died due to opium, no worse than Mao, right?
And people argued over "who lost China" in the fifties in spite of the fact that the Nationalists took payoffs to allow the opium to flow freely while the Communists executed anyone selling opium.
