Somebody on Facebook objected to tax breaks for businesses being counted as subsidies.
Corporations are subsidized by the rest of us paying for the things they need, like roads, educated workers, police, fire fighters. Eg., it's taxpayer money paying the fire people fighting the wildfires in California, protecting their homes and businesses.
