Let us talk a little bit about Welfare. Well it's not just for bums. Corporate welfare for example, is why Exxon-Mobil, and IBM are sitting where they are today. You really didn't think it was because people buy their shit. No, it's because they use corporate welfare to build there companies up and save millions, if not billions in tax break incentives.
Some Examples:
General Electric: $9.5 billion in taxes from 2001-2003
Exxon Mobil: $4.3 billion
Citigroup: $4.6 billion
IBM: $4.6 billion
But real people, not corporations, are made to feel like they are bums if they get food-stamps. Well Exxon-Mobil made $40 billion in profits last year, but it's o.k. for them to get welfare. I believe real people need more help than our Corporate Empires.
But that's just it. You are merely a person, not an empire. You don't have a team of CPAs working for you, finding all these little known tax loops in the system to take advantage of. But if you are a working person, making more than $300 a month, then you are fine and don't need any help.
The last I checked the people of America pay the taxes, and I don't see why any of the money generated should go to help companies that are earning profits. Actually I don't see why any tax money should be use to do anything other than what is voted appropriate by the constituents of the district the money came from.
Do you realize that you are so far out of the loop from your representatives that the statement I just made seems completely impossible.
Well my friends, it isn't. Write your Representative . Tell them what you think. Let them know you exist, and pay their wages. They work for you. Not for the Citigroups and Exxon-Mobils of the America. You need to be apart of the political process. If you are not and say "I can't change anything" or "I DON'T CARE" Yes my friend you do. The things you want in life, the world you are apart of, needs you to be involved. Money drives the world, but if the people of America wake-up and know that their numbers alone beat out any amount of money, then real change can be imagined.
