We want our 10 cents back!

1. Sadly there are those who would support doing so for real

Especially if 'those people' would be made to suffer more.

9. The Koch brothers, multi-billionaires, want their ten cents back.

2. Meanwhile, we each spend $870 year on corporate welfare.

3. +1

10. I'm sure if hungry children, welfare moms and the elderly received $870/yr

they'd have huge advertising budgets, just like corporate welfare recipients and they'd be tilting the playing field with misinformation too.

Well maybe not, but I thought I bear that out.

11. Some conservative was haranguing me about the $110 billion spent on "climate politics" since

1999. I told him about the 83 billion spent on oil subsidies yearly that added up to about a trillion since 1999 and how climate studies were a drop in the bucket in comparison and that Exxon alone had made 44 billion in profits in 2012, so why did the oil companies need subsidies anyway? They exemplify the saying of straining at gnats and swallowing camels. I can't even begin to understand their flawed logic.

4. people spend $3 a month on food support, and something like $80 a month on welfare for corporations!

if that doesn't disgust you about how nasty the anti-food stamp crowd is over this, nothing will!

5. Oh god...

Please tell me that this is satire.

[davidn3600]

6. What I can't stand...

...is how so many on the right claim that welfare abuse is some major national crisis. Like that idiot John Stossel on FOX News who thinks anyone who has air conditioning and on food stamps is scamming the system.

That's the compassionate conservatism for ya...

7. WELL,

I want my $870 back! Yeah, that's right, what I spend on corporate welfare! I could really use that money about now!

8. K & R; effective. More effective if it didn't have stupid spelling mistake

"movement", not "moment".

Carelessness like that reduces credibility and adds distractions. People think that it has been tossed off and is not serious.

It's a shame because it is an excellent perspective on the issue and makes good use of irony.
