Some politicians love to cite that some people on welfare are driving Cadillacs. Therefore all welfare is a waste of taxpayer money. My first question is if the “welfare queen’s” “Cadillac” is a late model or a 10-15 year old Cadillac with 200,000 miles. My second question is how many people that truly need help would be hurt because politicians assumed they were all driving Cadillacs.
Some of these same politicians love to give barrels of cash to multi-millionaire CEOs as direct subsidies to continue doing business as they are or to move from one place to another. Why does a billionaire need a subsidy to build a stadium for which he will take most of the profits? Why does a company need a subsidy to move from one city to another? Either there is a sound business reason to move, like closer to markets, suppliers, or labor pool or there isn’t.
The welfare kings are also leeches in that they expect a pool of trained labor they did not train and an infra-structure they did not build. And they holler loudly if anyone expects them to pay taxes to have these. And they complain loudly if anyone expects them to clean up the messes they create, like harmful particles in the air and toxins in the water.
