While I generally agree with this statement I also believe that if the government is going to subsidize corporations then they can go ahead and subsidize the general population on higher dollar items too. Almost every major US corporation has at one time or another received subsidies from the government in one form or another. Might be tax breaks, flat handouts(grants), backroom deals or whatever. I would imagine that if it weren't for the electric car and solar panel subsidies in whatever form, that we would still be ten years away from where we are now in those two industries.
What I'm saying is level the playing field. Either subsidize everyone or no one. Personally I prefer no one.
