Another Statist to English translation

by | 10:16 am, March 26, 2010 | Comments Off

The Denver Post (see "Qwest seeks grant for Net") reports, in classic Statist language, that

Qwest is seeking $350 million in federal stimulus grants to extend high-speed Internet service to more than 500,000 homes, businesses and schools in rural communities across its 14-state local phone service territory.

What this really means in English is that

Qwest, a private enterprise, is seeking $350 million of your money so that it can profit from an untapped market it does not wish to pay to enter.
Once again, in the name of "helping the poor," a huge company wants corporate welfare so it can profit. This is not capitalism. It is corporatism. It is immoral. Yet it has become so entrenched in our society, we accept the description of "federal grant" as if it were something other than a blatant redistribution of money from taxpayers to a private corporation.

Fight corporatism and corporate welfare.
