TARP trillions, or $80 a month in food stamps... you decide.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8343252

People never think to consider corporations as "Useless Eaters" :) They take the majority of government aid yet the broken people, like me, get accused of sponging off the backs of tax payers.

Corporations rarely pay their portion in taxes, yet even as a SSDI recipient, I pay tax every time I go to buy gas, buy groceries, pay a utility bill. I don't have many bills or outgoing income simply because my income is so limited. Rather pisses me off considering how many years I worked and paid into the system, but I suppose it could be worse.

My life is a lot simpler than it was when I was working. I have fewer things to manage, fewer luxuries such as no TV, no going out to eat, no special foods, etc. I'm not complaining, mind you. There is a certain freedom that comes with a minimalist lifestyle, but there is a richness to my life that is missing that those little luxuries used to fill. I don't know many corporations that could slim down their appetites to make more of the profits they do get. Instead, they seek more profits and aid to make up for their extravagance. I'd like to see some of these CEOs of companies like General Electric, Exxon, and the other big non-tax paying corporations live day to day like I do. They'd go insane.
