The American Spectator : The Profitable Nonprofit Regardless, Obama shouldn't just pick companies he doesn't like or ones that don't support his agenda. What are some of the other things that get subsidies that make a great profit? Stop giving money to them all, not just one segment. 3 M is subsidized Municipal utilities companies? GE & Apple get manufacturing tax credits (Apple makes a little profit!!) Even back in '97 , Rudy in New York was giving Reuters a $25 million tax break there. "Able to make a huge profit "???? So why do we give them tax payer's money? "The Public Broadcasting Service, also known as PBS is unlike a lot of American broadcasting television services.
