The government subsidizes these billion dollar industry's, but you have no problem with that?
Just with those who are minorities?
Really?

Please show me where I mentioned "minorities" in any sentence other than pointing out that the majority of violent criminals are minorities. Perhaps a refresher in reading comprehension is in order?
I do not endorse gov subsidizing billion dollar industry, such as Obama funding a failed solar power company. I do not consider tax breaks where they get to keep their money as being subsidized. But, I do realize that liberals feel that tax money is theirs, so therefore if you get to keep the money you earned, you consider it gov subsidized.
I have no problem with helping those that really require it. I would venture to say that at least half of those getting welfare could be taken off of it IF they were required to work. Minimum wage jobs have never been considered career jobs, so anyone that wishes to live like that does it because they wish to, not because the have to. If they want to work minimum wage jobs as a career, then let them work two or three jobs like I did in bad times. These folks that CAN work and don't, are taking resources that the old and handicapped should be getting.
I have no use for the lazy. If they refuse to work, then let them perish. That's their choice and not my responsibility. We have enough mentally impaired in this world that we don't need to support the unmotivated.
