    Oh, I agree with you on that. We should not be picking winners and losers based on politics. That way leads to ruin.

    When the right complains about wind farm and solar subsidies, I agree with them. They need to prosper or not on their own, not with tax money.

    When the left complains about oil and gas exploration subsidies, I agree with them, too. For the same reason as above.

    I get why people want to nationalize all these industries, and it’s because those industries were created in large part by using our money.

    I also know that when a government constantly shields its citizens, including their businesses, from their own mistakes, it tends to create an attitude of dismissal towards improvement.
