Corporate welfare benefits are concentrated among knowledgeable Washington insiders and special interests, the costs are spread among millions of taxpayers who have little idea what they are funding. Politicians are far more likely to hear from farmers and business people seeking to preserve their handouts than from taxpayers who are sick of paying for them.
With the annual price tag estimated at $125 billion revealed in 1998, its estimated over the last 10 years, Corporate welfare has cost tax payers over 1.3 trillion dollars!!!!! And this esitmate is on top of the projected trillions of dollars in tax cuts during 8 years of the Bush Administration.
