Steve's barking at welfare for the wealthy

In America only the poor get welfare, that and other myths have been circulating in this country since I was a young lad more then 65 years ago.
Funny thing this country has square miles upon square miles of land that is ready to be used, but when was the last time you heard of an auction  for federal land? I've heard of Federal lotteries that were rigged. I've heard of the selling of federal land (for the good of the people) but never an auction.
I've heard of special tax breaks that only the wealthy can use, one can say that the wealthy are getting welfare by tax codes.
What about those wealthy corporations who low bid on government contracts and are paid cost over runs, isn't that welfare for the wealthy?
What about those wealthy corporations that get land, tax breaks perhaps a road, and sewage system that others pay for.
Is it a good thing  corporate and wealthy welfare? Perhaps, but it's not better then then keeping a fellow human being alive and  giving a little dignity.
