For every year since 2016, I list actions that need to taken to improve lives of citizens and to improve our country. The list for 2016 can be found here.
Corporate Welfare
Ennoble the rich first
Apparently, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence believes cutting off food ennobles people: Indiana Gov. Mike Pence: We’re ‘ennobling’ poor people by cutting off food stamps.
One of my friends had a much better idea for ennoblement, “How about we cut off all the corporate welfare and ‘ennoble’ the rich first?”
Fossil fuel corporate welfare
The United States spent $5.2 billion for fossil fuel subsidies in 2013, yet some politicians tried to cut food assistance. We should take all this corporate welfare and apply it to food assistance.
