Corporate welfare Definition
Corporate welfare is a pejorative term used to describe a government's bestowal of grants and/or tax breaks on one or more corporations. Usually these actions are seen to be at the expense of the citizens, although in the case of "wealthfare" unevenly distributed to different corporations, they might be seen as at the expense of other corporations as well. The word "wealthfare" is meant to remind one of welfare payments to the poor, and perhaps imply that corporations are much less deserving than the poor.
