1.2.1: Corporate Welfare
Become visible and persistent critics of corporate welfare. Other Information:
Republicans could begin by : the vast network of subsidies and tax breaks extended by Democratic and Republican administrations
alike to wealthy and well-connected corporations. Such benefits undermine free markets and undercut the public's confidence
in American capitalism. They also increase federal spending. The conservative case against this high-level form of the dole
is obvious, and so is the appropriate agenda: cutting off the patent cronyism that infects federal policy toward energy, health
care, and the automobile and financial-services industries, resulting in a pernicious and corrupting system of interdependency.
"Ending corporate welfare as we know it": For a pro-market party, this should be a rich vein to mine.
