What we really need is less subsidies AND less taxes. Let the companies sustain themselves fairly.

What about the companies that hire people, but don't pay high enough wages for the person to support themselves with a full-time job? Personally, I agree. Subsidies should not be given out easily. I don't think we need less taxes, I do think we need simpler and harder to evade tax laws. Overall, I think companies should be able to both survive and allow their employees to survive without outside assistance, if they are unable to, they shouldn't be in business.

The caveat is I believe subsidies are necessary for certain products/services. There are certain things that simply cannot be profitable, but greatly benefit us as a country. For instance, ensuring everyone has access to high speed internet, power, telephone, etc. There may not be the ability to make a profit there, but it is important for us, as a country, to ensure certain basic necessities to everyone.
