Paul Ryan wants to end ALL corporate welfare, and Obama's so-called proposal to reform the tax code will not end corporate welfare. It is a diversion to distract people from pointing out all the corporate welfare that he supports. Secondly, those corporations which receive corporate welfare (from the government through tax dollars) which Obama likes to euphemistically label "investments," may then have freed-up money to offset any tax increases to the heads of those corporations - through the shelling out of bonuses.
As John Stossel and several other Libertarians (as well as conservatives and progressives) have reported, more money is doled out in corporate welfare each year than goes to the poor.
Obama will stick it to individual earners and small business owners who earn over a certain amount, and wants to raise their taxes, yet won't propose to end all corporate welfare. I wonder if we will see lots of "bundling" in the 2012 campaign from those corporations which have received hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate welfare. I wonder just how much bundled money Obama's re-election effort will receive? Perhaps he could get more bundled from then than small business owners?
This raising the debt ceiling to borrow-and-spend is going somewhere:
1.) Use part of it to pay the interest on the money we already owe, 2.) more corporate welfare, 3.) more social welfare spending, 4.) it makes up for the tax loopholes (which Ryan wants to close), 5.) 2 million new federal workers, 6.) around $300 billion dollars more per year for military spending and so on.
What say you?
How can Obama be for small business owners and individual earners when he supports hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars in outright corporate welfare, crony capitalism, carve-outs and so on?
Obama is a pro-bourgeois socialist, otherwise known as Corporatism - which is socialism for the bourgeois. Obama is a Corporatist.

Because he say’s so, and his audiences are college students and pre-approved journalists who’s understanding of business, history, and government are quite limited.
And Obama’s GM plan worked out too. /s
