We have to back our corporations because they are the only reason why our money is worth anything. Plus, they create a lot of innovation that makes our lives better. For example, Microsoft can be evil but they have provided us more opportunity than most companies and made our lives better for the most part ( damn you windows 98).

Uh, money existed long before corporations did. 

Again, we're seeing the opposite. Corporations have ballooned in value, while we've seen a collapse in small business, and almost across the board American lives have consistently gotten worse over the past 45 years regardless of Democrat/Republican presidents. Housing, college, healthcare have consistently gotten worse everywhere in the US over the past 45 years.  

Meanwhile, Republicans have granted these corporations trillions of dollars in tax cuts since the year 2000 - and we've not seen the savings that you think are out.


And it's not because of illegal immigration.

Americans are willing to do the dirty tough jobs for a decent pay. Pay me 30 dollars an hour and I will pick up hay as a freelancer without question.

Plenty of them still aren't going to do that work for $30 an hour. Plenty of places are struggling to find people.

You're also somehow ignoring that once again, those costs will end up getting passed onto the middle class.  

You're wildly mistaken on a lot of these things. I've not sure where you're getting your worldview, but you need to look around more. Turn off Fox News, get off r/conservative or wherever you are reading from.
