Clowd is talking about corporate welfare. You know...the funding we give to corporations to "help them out" in their quest to become not only millionaires, but billionaires.

Example-- the good ol subsidized fans from China:

Home Depot was the number one winner in the tax bill signed 10/11/04. They get to sell subsidized ceiling fans from China. (What do they have against Lowe's?)

The event at the home of Robert Nardelli, chief executive officer of Home Depot raised $3.2 million for Bush.

On the invitation list were Georgia-Pacific Co. Chief Executive A.D. "Pete" Correll, Coca-Cola Co. board member Don Keough, Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, SunTrust CEO Phil Humann

Suntrust, the next Enron?

NEW YORK SunTrust Banks said Monday that it expected to restate its profit upward for the first half to fix how it accounted for loan losses, and the large U.S. bank put two senior finance executives on paid leave.

And Remember Suntrust is where the 9/11 terrorists kept their Saudi money.


That's the real issue today...none of this "taking my money and give to the poor"...it's more like "taking my HARD EARNED money and giving it to the rich."

Glad you love wasting your tax dollars on this crap flintstone.

And re: the post, to teach your children how to hate like that....."she hates democrats because they give money to the poor", well I guess that's no better than other groups that are taught to hate, for example..um...terrorists who are taught to hate Americans...or Germans who were taught to hate jews....

Seriously....some people need to look inside their soul and see what they've become.

Actually I don't believe you are correct. Could you post a source for these charges? The only bill that I know of on the date you post is H.R. 4520, Jumpstart Our Business Strength (JOBS) Act . It's purpose was to actually close loopholes in the corrporate tax code and prevent loss of jobs overseas.....and I don't see anything even similar to what you post. There were no subsidies for ceiling fans. The only portion regarding ceiling fans is to temporarily remove a 4.7% tarriff on their purchase.....which would apply to Home Depot, Lowes, or anyone else who purchased one. Only a fool would consider such to be corporate welfare. Since the tariff reductions apply to all purchasers and resellers...they will, through competition, be ultimately passed on to the consumer. If you know of another bill that does anything at all like you profess, please enlighten me.

The Suntrust bit is just silly. That is like saying that if the terrorist drove a Ford..they are evil cars.

Perhaps looking into one's soul would help one see that printing falsehoods helps noone. The end really doesn't justify the means.
