Good that you raise Google as an example!

As Google is currently paying almost no taxes, I'm curious that how and how much is Google spending its money to support stuff now supported by the federal government?

For instance, how much is Google paying to people living on federal welfare money, and as the current job markets are what they are, would they have to decide between starving and stealing to survive, or could they still survive with Google handouts?

Military spending is a huge portion of the federal budget. While it is ludicrous how much money is being burned in it, what kind of shape would be military be with the money Google & co are currently spending to support it?

Medicare and Medicaid also are big items in the federal budget. How much is Google spending to offer health care to people who cannot for whatever reason, e.g. disability, cannot pay for it?
