Corporations are not in business to be social-welfare organizations; they are there to make money.

Welfare distorts behavior, makes one less personally responsible and reduces the role of private charity. This principle applies to corporate welfare.

I don't think value to the customer is achieved at the expense of employees' welfare.

The only thing that stands between corporate greed and poverty is the union.

I don't believe in welfare.
