Boeing?
You have to be joking. How many zillions in taxpayer dollars flow to Boeing every year in the form of padded defense contracts? Not to mention all the subsidies our airline industry receives from the government, which in turn helps keep Boeing afloat. Boeing receives as much - or more - state support than outfits like Airbus.
At least Europeans are honest enough to admit they have socialist governments, and manage their system accordingly. The rightwing and libertarian fruitcakes here in America blather on about our supposed free market, all the while ignoring literally hundreds of billions of dollars worth of corporate welfare doled out by Washington, state and local governments every year.
