the defining characteristic of Corporate Capitalism

pissing away tax dollars into BigCo hands

examples:

• Big Agriculture Subsidy and other trade Protectionism.

• tax-breaks for companies "creating" or "keeping" jobs in an area, when they rarely keep their commitments

  • Jan'2004 - PaulGlastris on battles against this practice, and a recent Sixth Circuit decision saying that it's a violation of the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution.
