[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 2906929, member: 66082"] First off, the richest Americans and largest corporations created a whole industry to beg the government to do stuff for them and the begging of the government is constant. We call this industry lobbying. Heck the rich and powerful corporations don't even do their own begging to the government. They hire professional beggars call lobbyists. The rich and powerful are so great at extracting money from the government, that they can afford to make their professional beggars rich. Now none of this stuff is hidden and yet the kinds of people who get upset with the "poor" getting help from their own government are silent or accepting of the rich creating a whole industry design to beg the government to help them. So its wrong for the government to help the poor in exchange for votes, but its ok for the government to help the richest Americans in exchange for money and votes? [/QUOTE]
