Except I'm not a team player. That was my point. Both parties are full of warmongering corporate shills.

All US politicians hand out money to corporations it is part of the job.
Such pronouncements are meaningless when they come from people who think a tax cut is a gift.
I wasn't referring to tax cuts. I am referring to passing regulations written by the very companies that they pretend to regulate and throwing money at the financial industries when they take a hit with their risky investments. Do you already forget Sen McCain "Suspending his campaign" to throw money at failing corporations?

The data shows for every dollar invested the return is:

Permanent tax cuts
0.48 Extend alternative minimum tax patch
0.29 Make Bush income tax cuts permanent
0.37 Make dividend and capital gains tax cuts permanent
0.30 Cut in corporate tax rate

Spending Increases
1.64 Extending UI benefits
1.73 Temporary increase in food stamps
1.36 General aid to state governments
1.59 Increased infrastructure spending

Invest in corporations with bloated CEO salaries, lose money

Invest in the American people, make money

Currently the republicans are holding hostage a bill extending unemployment benefits ($1.64 gain) to add tax cuts for their rich friends ($0.30 loss).
