Why do corporatio­ns covet other people's money?

Just the welfare that went to banks last year was $2.5 trillion.

Here’s a more specific comparison of what top executives of banks bailed out last year got (600 guys) versus what 1.6 million families got from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families:

$1.6 in bonuses which is a little over a third of what the 1.6 million families got.

We're not even talking about the tax incentives­, deductions­, tax rebates, and other welfare that transnatio­nal corporatio­ns got from American workers.  GE not only didn't pay any taxes, it got a tax benefit of $1.1 billion.
