Stop Using Public Funds for Private Gain
Our governments, their social programs and middle class economy are drowning in the toilets of private gain. Obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and ultimately health care costs are the result of an insatiable corporate marketing, lobbying and profit-taking of toxic agribusiness and products like high fructose corn syrup. Politicians selected by billionaires like the Koch brothers and Michael Bloomberg are afraid to eliminate the private subsidies and tax loopholes of corporations and wealthy owners who keep them in office. States and local governments are going bankrupt, awash in unfunded mandates. Why would we fund start-ups with public funds to enrich the owner and the larger fish who gobbles them up? Governments and taxes should have a limited role - this is not it.
