Corporate welfare is not real welfare, actually. (Even though it's similiar.) Corporate welfare when the government gives handouts or tax breaks to businesses to either entice them to stay where they are located, or move to a new place, or do a number of other things. Many people think corporate welfare is unfair (no pun intended) because they think that the money the government hands out could go to better causes. There are a zillion stories about the "stupid corporate welfare situation" out there.
