Comment: Nice idea, but the likelihood of our government ever making any real attempt to end these subsidies is practically non-existent. Wealthy corporations represent the 'power behind the throne' in government. Their control through campaign donations, lobbying and the revolving door between government jobs and industry insures that no one who values their career is likely to step too far out of line. The end game is to accrue as much from the public sector as possible to feed the coffers of the wealthy elites, most of whom are psychopathic, and as such have no concern for the welfare of the masses.
