Half of our budget goes to the military and we contract out a major portion of our military spending to private corporations. The government also handed out $700 billion to millionaires to help save the private market finance industry in 2008. Corporate loopholes in the tax code have allowed many top corporations with billions in profit to pay zero taxes. U.S. Corporations pay a lower percentage of all income taxes than at any time in our history. All of this corporate welfare costs the taxpayers much more than poor. But the Republican party have done a great job demonizing the poor to create a smoke screen for what they are handing out to corporations.
