The OWS crowd owes the Tea Party an apology.

The word you're looking for is "welfare" not "socialism." I'm sorry, I know the indoctrination tells you that welfare is socialism is communism is the democratic party is liberal is fascism is bears is homosexuality is pedophilia is George Soros is obama is Muslim is terrorist is leftist is Michael Moore is socialist, and encourages you to mix all these terms into a big ol ignorant-flavored smoothie, so it's probably hard for you to break the habit.

Welfare exists independently of any given social or economic system.

Now with this in mind, the reason welfare for the people is good is because, put simply there are people who for whatever reason cannot meet their own needs, or perhaps the needs of their families. First off, it's a moral imperative to help these people out. Individual charity is less efficient at getting to the broad swath of needy in the nation - and it certainly can't help where entire communities are in poverty. But let's do like the sociopath-Libertarian segment of our society, and forget the morals of the situation. Who's a better worker, the single mother who can feed and shelter her kids, or the single mother who cannot? Which of these two womenand their families is a greater contribution to our society, the one able to feed, clothe, school,and shelter her family and pay her bills, or the one constantly looking for babysitters, cutting her electricity budget to pay for food, and unable to hold steady hours due to a crazy home life?

So then, why is corporate welfare a bad thing? Well, that's easy. Corporations simply don't need it. First, and most obviously, corporations are not people, and so should not be considered valid recipients of benefits for the people of the nation. Second, they have resources far in excess of what that single mother can bring to bear. They can get a loan. She probably can't (at least not without a usurious interest rate). Further, the people who head corporations tend to have made a good sum of money from their business - if that business is hurting, maybe they should draw from their own bank accounts and invest capital where needed?

Welfare is for people who need help. corporations are not people and do not need the help.

Clear?

OWS does not owe the TP a thing and that is that, how about the TP apologize for hijacking and threatening to derail this nation.

Not going to happen and the radical fringe elements do not speak nor represent us!
