Cut all corporate welfare. It's responsible for our taxes being so high. Please describe 'corporate welfare'. I'm all for removing the $50 billion a year, or, so, we give the richest agricultural corporations in the country. I'm all for removing the $75 billions we give to schools systems, to satisfy the NEA and AFT, and give back local control, and keep Ted Kennedy happy. That's a start. I'm against giving the tobacco farmers $10 billion dollars to get them off tobacco subsidies, which will be reinstated sometime in the future, as were farm subsidies. Name some others. I'm with you, maybe. KM

What do you mean by corporate welfare? If you mean tax breaks, I can possibly agree with you, although it's also important to allow businesses some incentives to hire new people... unless every unemployed person started his/her own private business, if they want a job then they have to be hired by an already existing business... tax these businesses unfairly and you'll never see new jobs created... so, on a case by case basis, I could agree with you, but not a blanket ruling across the board...
