So why do my tax dollars go for corporate welfare? Oh that's right, rich guys NEED welfare, poor people don't. How could I not see the difference, DUH!

No they are not, they are corporations my friend. Thus they are ONLY interested in making profits.

Do you work for free or are you interested in making money? And if so how does that make you different from them?

Outside of the government or money laudering operations for crime organizations... what business on the planet ISN'T in business to make money? If they didn't how would they make payrol?

Thanks for making my point.
The biggest part you missed is that I don't have the money it takes to buy political votes.

How do you know... some politicians can be bought for cheap. Particularly the local ones.

Tried that! They laughed at my ten bucks and a case of beer! Corporations do more than make payroll. They also pay big bonuses and have golden parachutes. Don't try that at home.

Got to try it with a better brand of swill. They might not have liked that kind.

I think it was the TEN bucks they laughed at. Not enough ZEROES!

Favors work great... no paper trail to get them in trouble.

Quid-Pro-Quo

No wonder they drank the beer and left laughing! They flushed the piss trail though, and you don't want to know the favor.

Did it involve bear grease? They do that to all their constituents.

[talaniman]

No mention of bear grease. But he did say grin and bear it! He saves the bear grease for those that vote for him. Could that be the difference between repubs and dems?

Bear Grease??

You keep saying that as if it's a Republicans only thing. Democrats are just as guilty if not more, and just as corrupt if not more. I mean really, your guy pledged to ban lobbyists from the White House then hired the head of a lobbying firm.

[talaniman]

I made no reference to a party in my question so don't assume that's what I meant.

Bear Grease???????????????????

It was a cartoon I read in Hustler magazine a LOT of years ago (like in the early 80's)... don't remember the punchline... but it involved two grizzly Adams types in a log cabin and something about Bear grease. Kind of never forgot it.

Since we all know that Larry Flynt is a far lefty... maybe he had some unaddressed tendencies back then.

You don't see me supporting government payouts and subsidies.

Is that how you grease the wheels of government over there? Bear Grease? How many grizzlies does it take to get things moving? Are there enough grizzlies in the country? No wonder the Polar Bear is an endangered species

Well being most Polar bears live in Canada... maybe that explains a lot about Canadian Politics... lord knows there must be some explanation.

I could explain it this way, Scotsmen and Frenchmen make a curious combination, you can't understand what the scots say and you can't understand what the french say, oi!
