Because it’s completely delusional.

Corporations don’t pay taxes. The consumers do.

What's your opinion on allowing people to open and run voluntary euthanasia clinics, so that anyone who's too poor to live a comfortable life can simply peacefully end it?

My point is that some "corporate welfare" seems necessary as that is just how the game is played. Isn't this part of the "trickle down" theory? Help businesses succeed, and give tax breaks, so they can keep hiring more people? I admit that economics is not my strong suit. I'm here to learn.
There’s no such thing as corporate welfare or trickle down theory. Both made up by the leftists who know nothing about economics.

For example, money doesn’t trickle down. It comes down immediately. When a greedy rich fat cat makes an investment, it will be years if not decades before he sees a return. On the other hand, all the people he hires to “exploit” are paid in full within thirty days after the service is rendered. Can he not pay a contractor or employee until he makes his money back? Nope.

Money doesn’t trickle down. It comes down immediately.

Do free people not have the right to choose the way they live as long as they don’t encroaching other people’s rights?

All Democrats want to do is make poverty more comfortable like more free handouts, more free healthcare, making minimum wage more generous etc. And its always about redistributing wealth, never generating more wealth.

Republicans support policies that lift people (Americans at least) out of poverty. We want to create new higher paying jobs by reducing government overregulation and renegotaiting unfair trade agreements so other countries are no longer benefiting at our expense and jobs can return to the US. Democrats are okay with jobs being taken by illegal aliens and with other countries in a dominant position over us. They support the birds and teh fish and the spotted owl over American workers. They are okay with illegal aliens getting housing before Americans.

If Democrats were for the poor people, they would be fiercely against the illegal immigration. Nothing hurts the poor more than the illegal immigration. Illegal aliens compete with the poor for health care, education, jobs and other welfare.

All Democrats want is a plantation with one group of people forced to work and produce wealth to pay for the other group who is doped to vote for the Democrats while remaining permanently poor.

Slavery was in fact socialist for the slaves. They were given free food and free health care. In fact one of the large plantations here in Louisiana that are open to tours has a doctor's office on site where slaves would go there daily for free health care and the guide joked that they indeed had socialized medicine back then. Also all the resources of the slaves were shared by the slaves and they had things like communal gardens, shared resources in a Communist manner....etc all the stuff the new left loves.
