Again, you r linking earned money to welfare, and that is wrong

You received your bonus because the company you worked for was receiving government subsidies - that money is hardly earned.
And you receiving a bigger tax rebate check from the government because they took more from someone else to give to you, also sounds a lot like welfare.
But what that mom and pop store competition has to do with current conversation?

Because everyone is so against welfare to the poor without realizing that the government gives a lot more than that to the wealthy corporations, and then to you in form of bonuses and dividends.
Mom and pop is one of the little guys whom we so hate to see be the recepient of government help... and just speaks to their unfair treatment
