I've often thought over here that there should be an additional tax on corporations that save money by reducing their work force because the social security cost hits all of us.
When that company "streamlines its operation" and sack 100's I pay. So they reduce their costs but mine go up.

Another form of welfare is for corporations and costs $170 billion a year. The former is not acceptable to the majority of people while the majority do not know or care about corporate welfare from the federal government.
