Letter: Corporate welfare is socialism

So Delta Air Lines (and others presumably) may be looking for federal government assistance as their business suffers due to the fallout of the travel bans due to coronavirus. They are the largest and most profitable airline over the past decade and recently handed out record bonuses to all employees. Maybe they should have been saving their record profits for hard times like most of us do. Now they want a handout from the government.

Socialism or corporate welfare, take your pick. Same concept, different term.
