And the game is afoot. Get taxpayers to unwillingly subsidize a company that you are connected to and benefit financially from. If said company is a foreign entity or goes bankrupt, so what? Collect yours and move down the road to the next adventure funded with tax dollars. Unions and politicians alike are complicit in the fleecing.
