One thing that many Western countries have in common is that the wealth of these countries is largely being drained into the coffers of large corporations. This affects most people regardless of whether they are "libtards" or not. At the same time they are getting these tax breaks, which are basically being subsidised by ordinary taxpayers, these companies are also sacking their lower level employees.

Foolish governments continue to give big tax breaks to multi-national corporations and their often foreign shareholders. Looks like the Australian government will be doing this again soon also to the tune of 50 billion dollars after next weeks budget. Therefore, money that could be used for nation building infrastructure is squandered on tax breaks for big businesses that don't need it. "Corporate welfare".

It is the same in the USA and the UK.
