Why do you have a problem with people receiving GOV assistants but not corporations?

Corporate welfare’s sole redeeming quality, to the extent it has any, is its relative size. Washington ladles out about $100 billion a year in handouts to the undeserving rich. That is a minute fraction of federal outlays for social welfare (Medicare alone will cost more than $670 billion this year). But it is still roughly $100 billion too much. [ link to reason.com] None of those links provided says anything about any TRILLION dollars going to corporations. I am not the person who claimed trillions. But I will provide this for you [ link to abcnews.go.com] 100 billion to the wealthy and 72 million to feed the poor. If you're cool with that... edit: 72 billion Yes, that seems like a very REAL figure. That is for one program, just food stamps. But I am tired of people trying to pretend the government spends MORE money on corporations so I'm just getting my fair share to justify a lifestyle of complete irresponsibility. Note no where do I say veterans, social security, and so forth. Those are things people paid or gave into. It's the 100% freebies I oppose.
