James Aponen - so, what I hear you saying, is that you want to use government to force your neighbors to pay for your "stuff" rather than have businesses able to use their income to create jobs that might potentially provide you with that stuff if you negotiate with them as part of your pay packet.

I know, you don't see yourself as a thief, but when you write the things you write, you are in actually advocating for the government to put a gun to the head of anyone who makes more money than you do so that you can have that money. Forget or ignore the fact that those you are stealing from are the ones who actually create jobs and you are taking away their capacity to do that because to create jobs requires "extra" money for investment. What you call corporate welfare, small business owners call "giving us the liquidity we need to expand and create jobs."
