So in the interest of honesty why don’t we do away with all subsidies to everything.
Every industry big or small makes it or break it on its own merit.
No tax breaks for anything any time. No public/private partnerships. No tax write off for research and development. No loan guarantees. No tax break for moving in to a depressed area. No public utilities commission price controls.
Everybody pays the same flat tax. Everybody gets to set their price wherever the market will allow.
Don’t tell me that someone is getting a special deal unless you want me to eliminate all special deals.
I am with you.
