    Where are the robots? I don't see them at my local Big Burger Inc. I've heard of robot trials not working out so well.

    Subsidies can be, and are, given to businesses. No need to hand money to workers.

    Unskilled workers are very disadvantaged - they need the money - Big Business already has every advantage.

    If we are going to abolish welfare, let's start with corporate bailouts, too big to fail, and subsidies. Let's stop the bank hand holding of fractional reserve banking, payday loans, and high interest. There is a playing field here, and the welfare starts at the top and trickles down.
