...the people who are always screwing the working folks are folks who want to live like working folks without working, and I never take sides with them.

...a tax break isn't based on whether or not a company deserves it. Tax breaks are given to encourage certain behavior. You always get less of something when you tax it. Raising taxes on cigarettes was supposed to make people quit smoking. Tax increases on gasoline was supposed to protect the environment. Tax breaks for businesses is to encourage businesses to stay in or move to a particular place, to expand and to hire more folks. It's not complicated and it's not magic.
