The Party of Corporate Welfare vs. the Other Party of Corporate Welfare

Elizabeth Warren picks the wrong evening to make a point.

The most audacious moment in Elizabeth Warren's speech last night:

Republicans say they don't believe in government. Sure they do. They believe in government to help themselves and their powerful friends.

That's an accurate description of the people presently running the GOP. But it's a little rich coming the same evening Warren's party presented an extended ode to the auto bailout.

It's an accurate description of all politicians really.

"I know you are, but what am I?" The official slogan of the 2012 Presidential Election.

"But Mommy, he did it first!"

[Whiterun Guard]

Apples and oranges, when WE do it it's because of good intentions!

[Randian]

And the fact that the stimulus went to the state workers, who funneled their dues to the state workers' unions, who funneled that money back to the Democrats.

[Whiterun Guard]

That's how a free market works right?

The party that thought a good response to the rising cost of health care was to force everyone to subsidize insurance companies doesn't get to make that complaint.

[Jesse Walker]

That was another great moment last night: the speaker who said Obama "took away big subsidies to insurance companies." As though forcing everyone to buy their products isn't a honking huge subsidy.

[Pro Libertate]

I've been amazed that even they could get away with those sorts of statements, when ObamaCare may be the biggest subsidy ever.

[JW]

Are we at the point in the script where both sides finally fight and annihilate one another?

[DesigNate]

I wish.

[Chris Yoder]

This is why the GOP is struggling so hard against Johnson because they know that if he gets serious media coverage, like a debate, they might just lose and Obama with them. Both parties want to maintain the status quo and Johnson threatens to overturn it.

Corporate parties should be formally celebrated so that it will maintain the decorum of the party.
It cannot be informal because your informal party behavior here will represent your personality and who knows it may have a bad impact on your career. Organizing party for corp[orate welfare is a great thing and should be applauded. You can get to learn in the process and it may helpful in job life. Corporate Events Chicago
