I think it is "interesting" that many fiscal conservatives, like lott, who are outraged if a single mother of two gets "my goddamn tax dollars" seem to almost bend over backwards to give money to nike or pepsico.

Not that most democrats are any better when it comes to pork. The difference is that they generally don't make the distinction between wealthy multinational tax-sheltering corporations and poor people.

Some people claim that america has a free market economy. I think the picture would be very different if the government stopped providing corporate welfare and tariffs and subsidies.
