Corporate welfare in action ....

[Brain357]

More corp welfare means higher taxes.

if you mean more revenue, you're exactly right.

That's why it's good to give corporations tax breaks.

Give an example.

Thanks!
Those are covered by the $5 million in my example.
Plus sales tax, gas tax, etc.

Your example is imaginary. My examples have been real. Nice try though. Like I showed in WI corps can get a refund!

Your example is imaginary. My examples have been real.

I looked at your examples.
They're still unclear. They say "handed out taxpayer money", but I didn't see anything about appropriated funds being handed out.

If they were "reduced tax rates", then they should be more clear.

Like I showed in WI corps can get a refund!

I'd be against anything that actually resulted in a special rate that allowed refunds.

You need to read the thread then. Lots of examples. Give a real example where the state got a good deal.

Examples where government actually handed checks to corporations?
I didn't see any.
I'm against cases like that.

Temporarily cutting a tax is fine with me.
Cut them all permanently for everyone would be better.

Yes cutting all is fine. Special deals bad.

I'm good with cutting all as well.

They harm taxpayers. A 2012 Cato report found that the federal government spends about $100 billion annually on corporate welfare. Repealing the spending would save every household in the nation an average of about $800 a year.

If it's actually spending....cut it.

If they consider a reduced tax rate...."spending", they need to stop lying.

There's no such thing as corporate welfare.

What would you call it then when corporations get free money?

what exactly is free money?

If the tax credits exceed the amount of taxes due in a given year, the corporation can actually receive a refund from the state.

Example of this? Yes we thought not.

You must be blind.

We are still waiting for you to post one example, I think its official you are Fake News!

If you add these altogether, you see that federal, state and local governments force American families to give, on average, $2436 per year to companies that certainly don’t need the handouts (or shouldn’t be in business if they do). That $2436 could go a long, long way for most families, whether it was spent on food and clothing, vacation, a college fund, or whatever mom, dad and the kids most need. Indeed, considering that the average American family spends around $6500 per year on food, eliminating these corporate subsidies and returning the savings to taxpayers could pay for about 4.5 months-worth of groceries.

Allowing corporations to keep their own money they earned is not corporate welfare.

Why are you guys against lower taxes and for welfare?

The most recent obvious example is carrier deal, where all those jobs went to mexico anyways.
But in more general terms, there are these companies which got rebates instead of paying tax.
