Kountzer Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Well, there were the hundreds of billions given out in 2008 to stabilize banks and certain automobile corps. There's the billions given out to the agriculture giants like archer daniels midland. Every major city that has a pro sports team has to take it, in the form of paying for stadiums for the likes of jerry jones, or else do with out having a team. Then when giants like amazon look around for another headquarters, you can be sure you can be sure they are getting billions of tax cuts. It goes on and on..
