Yes, very good point. I guess we are mixing things here too, subsidies and tax breaks. But I am not interested in big government, it only creates big mess. I have first hand knowledge of that here in SF. There are so many government hand outs and all it does is attract more losers that want a free hand out. Sf is the far end of the spectrum that most people don't get to see. The real failure of too many government programs and special interest groups.
