If the Corporations/Business welfare was used to build their business in the united states, and hire Americans, then maybe, the welfare for the poor, might have a chance to disappear.

“The power to tax is the power to destroy.”
This quotation comes from the words of DANIEL WEBSTER and those of JOHN MARSHALL in the Supreme Court case, McCulloch v. Maryland. Webster, in arguing the case, said: “An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy,” 17 U.S. 327 (1819).
That quote from McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) was actually a defense of big government. The Court was upholding the power the federal government over that of the states. Congress had created the Second Bank of the United States, and the Baltimore branch had refused to pay Maryland’s tax on banks not chartered in the state. Relying on the Supremacy Clause of Article VI of the Constitution, the Court held “the government of the Union, though limited in its powers, is supreme within its sphere of action, and its laws, when made in pursuance of the constitution, form the supreme law of the land.” The “power to tax is the power to destroy” line was referring to a state trying to tax something Congress was Constitutionally empowered to created.

Welfare is anything that comes from the violence and force of government that enriches the life, business, prosperity of one at the expense of another. It includes the direct welfare payments, the subsidized housing, the free food, free education (yes, the entire socialist government monopoly “education” system), the direct payments to the arms cartel, farm subsidies, steel tariffs, sugar subsidies, crippling regulations, barriers to entry for businesses, permits, and countless other actions by government. Helping the “poor” is a small drop in the bucket of all the money that is being stolen and handed out, or the businesses that are being destroyed on behalf of other more well-connected, etc.
Maybe someday the question will be, “What was welfare?
Yea, I know, I’m too much of an optimist.
