I agree with the idea behind the article, most libertarians are shocked at each penny spent subsidizing people in wheelchairs while turning a blind eye to the fact that Forbes 500 gets enormous subsidies from the government and that list would look completely different if not for government regulations favoring them especially and or outright subsidies. This is not only a blind spot for libertarians, this is a blind spot for most lefties as well. They call for higher taxes that will eventually end up in CEO bonuses. Until this blind spot is addressed there's no point in discussing politics.
- seeken 13y agoDo you really know libertarians that are in favor of corporate welfare? They or you must be confused. Many libertarians want to get rid of the corporate income tax both because it is inefficient and because it is a sandbox for corruption.
- atlih 13y agoNot admittedly for corporate welfare, but their priority is stopping the pennies going to wheelchairs first and then maybe look at corporate subsidies.
