By Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. It's no lie that the guts of a gym, for us, is a barbell, a set of squat racks, and a lifting platform. And while most people who lift weights are no strangers to the first two, unless you snatch and clean and jerk, you probably don't have a clear idea about how to build a good lifting platform.
Corporate welfare. Corporate welfare is a term that analogizes corporate subsidies to welfare payments for the poor. The term is often used to describe a government's bestowal of money grants, tax breaks, or other special favorable treatment for corporations.
The Founders clearly understood the âgeneral welfareâ to mean the good of all citizens, not an open-ended mandate for Congress. The only good that applies to all citizens is freedom, and governmentâs proper role is the protection of that freedom. That was the meaning intended by the Founders.
