Subsidies are a system in which money is taken from one group (the taxpayers) and given to another, and the Constitutionalist Party realizes the inherent economic damage caused by them and opposes the formation of any more. All that subsidies have accomplished in American history is the support of one industry at the expense of the productivity of other industries and workers. The CP understands that industries rise and fall as part of the nature of the capitalist economy, and that the more the government interferes with the process the less able those involved in the economy are able to improve their quality of life. Even worse, such subsidies are regularly used by politicians to benefit their political allies and throw more corporate welfare around. The CP not only advocates an immediate end to the increase of subsidies, but supports measures to eliminate them, starting with those benefiting large corporations.
