7. All corporate welfare, INCLUDING oil subsidies.

We should not be subsidizing companies that make billions in profits while they pay their workers poverty wages. Wal-Mart is not a company that thinks "I wish we could afford to pay our employees more, but we don't have the revenue", they are a company that says "If we could pay our employees less, we would".

And it's not going to happen willingly. Cobalt Violet Nov 2012 #1
