*Yes, Libertarians criticize corporate welfare, but just because it corrupts the notion that a person's entire worth can be summarized in a stock portfolio.
No they criticize it because they don't like to *pay* for it. They believe in lower taxes and smaller governments.
I think this shows a misunderstanding of the Libertarian philosphy. A Libertarian opposes the theft of property from one person for the benift of another. It doesn't matter if is for the benifit of the bean picker in So. Cal. or for the owner of the bean farm. It is the *theft* at the point of a gun that is objected to. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
