All political musings aside, I can't understand how anybody not directly benefitting from corporate welfare can be an apologist for the same.

When companies that are "too big to fail" don't pay their taxes, the rest of us pay more, or else stuff like education and healthcare simply don't get funded. They're selling our children (and thereby the future of our nation) down the river. How anyone who does pay income tax can be okay with that is beyond my comprehension. I guess stock dividends made possible by increased debt limits make anything forgivable for some....
