I'm confused as to whether or not you think this is a good or a bad policy.
Ultimately, liberal job creation philosophy leads to such a practice so, theoretically, you would consider this policy 'good'. However, the way it is presented in your post, it seems you think this policy to be 'bad'.
Taxpayer money DOES go to encourage private companies to hire the long term unemployed, the military veteran, and the disabled. With the philosophy of "let's make everyone a taxpayer", many consider the few dollars spent on such programs to be a long-term gain for the economy. Personally, with my Libertarian leanings, I would prefer that the free-market prevail. I would also like to see the tax policies that discourage private companies from hiring people to be eliminated.
Oh, I know you'll go on and on about tax subsidies, yada, yada. Can I cut you off there? I don't believe in the personal income tax and I don't believe in the corporate tax on profits. I don't support corporate tax subsidies because I don't think our givernment should be manipulating the tax code anyway. But I also think that is a discussion on another thread so I'll leave it there.
