They just want more take.
And this is different from handouts to corporations how?
They just want more take.
If my taxes are used to pay professor salaries, I want that school to have a student body that reflects the state population.
If we were talking Texas A&M, you'd have a point.
You know what the difference is? Most corporations BRING something to the table.
They bring a workforce of employing 20k+ people, all of which must pay their social security tax, medicaid tax, and income taxes. The corporation itself pays taxes as well, and is responsible for multiple other taxes (Sales/Use taxes, property taxes, etc...).
Handouts have statistically not helped the pathetic saps of society learn to contribute instead of take. They just want more take.
I'd ban the expenditure of tax dollars on sports and sports would have no consideration whatsoever in admissions decisions. We all have our own priorities.If my taxes are used to pay professor salaries, I want that school to accept the most qualified based on academics and co-curricular activity (ie, sports, volunteerism, side projects, etc), not skin tone.
Yah, these corporations that employ people for minimum wage are amazing! They definitely deserve welfare money for employing people... Ya know, because that's how capitalism works, right? The govt takes taxes from the working people to hand to the corporations, who pocket most of it, then spend the rest to employ the working people. OMG they are so deserving of welfare!
Of course, these corporations deserve these handouts! I mean Wal-mart for example, needs that govt welfare money to subsidize the employees pay, because the walt family only have ~120 billion. How could they keep the business afloat without welfare?
Did you hear about the most expensive gas station ever built? Average Gas station in the middle east... 43 million.

Who does that help? Where are those jobs?
Here is another great story,

Face it, you are full of shit! These subsidies, tax breaks, etc.. are not needed by corporations. It all goes into the hands of a few people sucking at the govt tit. They take a billion times more than the 'freeloaders' you are ignorantly obsessed with.

How often is it asked of a graduate from say Princeton what their grades were assuming they're not seeking a grad school entry?
It seems to me that many hear the word Princeton and there it is... Must be a genius of some sort. The reality is, however, two fold. One is that the difference tween a 4.0 and a 2.0 student is massive but, and two, real key is in the very narrow interest the student has if that is the case. Maybe a student has real talent in a very narrow segment of some field. He/she will get into the work force based on from where their degree is garnered but not grad school while the folks going to some lesser know school will not have that advantage even though they may have much more to offer in the same field.
If you can score 2300 on the SAT you should be able to get into any school regardless of any other criteria. I'm not too sure about a 1400 SAT having the same ease of entry based on some factor other than 'brains'.
So.... end of the day... the acceptance into any University ought to be blind with the focus on the benefit the student will receive like sitting in a class taught by Guth at MIT which means that like Feynman some aspect of the SAT might be irrelevant when another aspect is so profound that to not admit is absurd.
They are subsidizing walmart, because walmart won't pay their employees a livable wage.The fact that a significant number of Americans are too worthless to earn better jobs than Walmart doesn't mean the US is subsidizing Walmart, and the personal wealth of a bunch of old inheritors is basically irrelevant to the day-to-day operations of the company.
Your other two stories don't seem relevant either. TFBSO is apparently a branch of the DOD, aka not a corporation. Government waste is universal.
Oh boy! I love cherry picking!
What the original reference was to - was talking specifically about industrial (and local) tax breaks given to corporations. Not some bullshit public (government) jobs in the middle east, and certainly not relating to "minimum wage" employment you dolt.
Why don't you gather some facts before spewing BS? From your post, you're making it seem less like we should screw corporations over, and more-so that we shouldn't trust the government to spend money correctly. Excellent point, Watson!
