The government likes to give out a lot of money. They give
it to businesses, organizations, other countries and even charities. But,
the tax payer money does not belong to them. It belongs to us. So
don't you think it is time they stopped with the handouts?
Case against subsidies: Subsidies, for those who do not
know, are monies given by the government to any form of organization with
little to now expectant returns. For example, Planned Parenthood gets
subsidies under the claim that they use that money for women's health.
However, that organization performs abortions which violates people's religious
and moral beliefs. As such, as a voter who does not agree with abortion,
the money should not go to Planned Parenthood at all. Likewise, money
goes to oil companies in the form of subsidies, which people who believe in
global warming and climate change do not believe in. They as a voter have
the right to say no, as it is the tax payer’s money. It is their money
too. However, these subsidies are numerous. The national endowment
for the arts is one organization in the government that funnels money to
artists and organizations in the form of subsidies to handpicked artists whom
you as a voter may think sucks. Money is given to charities, unions,
businesses and organizations to get their favor and money for the following
election. The government and politicians also pick and choose who they
deem are worthy to get these funds and some of these funds are placed into laws
to get politicians to vote for things they may or may not believe in. So
what does this tell us? That our money is being used as a tool to grant
political favors.
Conclusion: There really is no shortage of
examples for you merely have to google how much money an oil company, import
export businesses, union, Planned Parenthood and more have donated to
politicians and how many subsidies have been given in return. They are
literally a click away. Think about all that wasted money that was just
tossed to these groups that may or may not benefit anyone but themselves.
Subsidies play into the corruption of government via lobbyists whom we
all do not like in general. As such, we need to ban subsidies via a
constitutional amendment. That Amendment must state that the government
cannot give money to any organization, or group of individuals of any kind,
under any circumstance with the sole exception of purchasing a good or a
service for use by the government exclusively or as part of a treaty with a
foreign country. Basically unless they are buying something for the
government to use like a computer program, or fuel for the militaries motor
pool, the government can no longer give any money away ever again. And
with that, our problem would be solved. No more moral violations or
ethical violations with the people's money ever again.
