On the recordJanuary 15, 2014
I do not think that taxpayers in this country ought to be subsidizing the wealthiest family in this country, or any company and any corporation that is paying its workers so little that those workers, in order to have a decent living, have got to rely on food stamps, Medicaid, subsidized housing, and so on. That is a corporate welfare of the worst kind.
