No more corporate welfare - we need to stop ALL corporate subsidies and loans. The Government should NOT be in the business of picking winners and losers - that should be left to the Free Market.

That sounds like a good goal, but what is needed is a way to accomplish it. One way to acheive it is to demand that lobbies are outlawed, and anyone caught dabbling in lobbyism be held accountable for nothing less than treason. Corporations are not endowed with inaliable rights, and since they are not sentient beings, they do not have the right to representation in the congress or house. True, they are composed of people, but each one of them should have one vote, just like the rest of us, not one in the pools and much more power through money and influence.
