The term is used interchangeably with crony capitalism; to the extent that there is a difference, the corporate welfare might be restricted only to direct government subsidies of major corporations, excluding tax loopholes and all manner of regulatory and trade decisions, which in practice could be much larger than any direct subsidies. The term, "Corporate Welfare", was reportedly invented in 1956 by Ralph Nader; conservatives like Grover Norquist prefer "Crony capitalism".

What does that have to do with the projects of the WPA that help make this a first world country?
What does this have to do that I appreciate the work of the generations before me, the roads, bridges, infrastructure and you seem to feel entitled.

Wealth was fairly distributed back then. Under Eisenhower the very, very wealthy paid 90% in taxes. Did you appreciate Eisenhower?
You need to elaborate what you mean by the wealth being fairly distributed.
The only change of significance is the population is much bigger now, more people are now dependent upon the government.....then and now....... the haves had/have it however the got it and the have nots had/have what they worked hard for.....

So please explain.
