Tax breaks for companies are a subsidy. (Aside from the military cross-subsidisation.)

1. Your article is about 2016, 50 years after the 747 was developed.

2. Having the government take less of your money is not a subsidy.

3. Boeing 2016 revenue was $95.5 billion. The tax break is about a quarter of a percent of that.

4. I'm curious what you consider military technology that makes up the 747.

5. I'm curious what part of the Everett plant, which was built from scratch to build the 747, was built with government/military funding.
