      ELI5, why are companies such as Amazon, owned by Bezos, subsidized by the government? Also the other big names, Amazon just especially caught my eye.

      Now add government rebates to consumers that directly impact sales of specific product categories…

      Boeing has to compete with literally one other company, Airbus, which is subsidized by the EU.

      If a company makes a profit that’s higher than its subsidy, it should be required to pay that subsidy back to the government because obviously it doesn’t need it.

      Honestly those are much smaller than I expected, Boeing is worth 135 billion. 15 billion is a little over 10%. For a company that does government contracts and is the US’s ‘large commercial jet manufacturer’. A lot of the other companies have even more dramatic differences. Maybe one could add “employees on foodstamps” and see how much retail companies rocket up.

      Now do how much each company has paid in income, payroll, and property taxes in the same time period.
