If you're against the welfare state, start with Corporate welfare.
Corporate welfare statistics are based on a 13 year assessment of business subsidies. Between 1994 and 2007, the federal government gave away 66.6 billion, the provinces - 110.3 billion, and municipalities - 25.8 billion, for a total of 203 billion, or 15.6 billion dollars a year.
Corporations should never get welfare.
They're already wealthy.
Welfare should be for those who need it, not corporations.
If you can't survive as a business without welfare, then the market has spoken.
