It has been governmnent policy since the 30s to keep food cheap.

Great. It's not as cheap when you include all the tax dollars that are given as subsidies, is it?

You never said what business you are in?

You're right. Why don't you give me a list of businesses and explain for each why they would make my claims about farm subsidies somehow incorrect. Thanks!

Why do you fear answering the question about your occupation—are you ashamed? It is a childish game to answer a question with a question.

If the food is not cheap enough for you, then don’t support it by buying it. If you do buy it, you are part of the problem and thereby support the subsidies you protest. Is that clear enough for you?

I told you that I farm—I know it has become popular to attack farmer’s with even the left and the right piling on while avoiding the same criticism of other businesses. You have no idea of what maintaining a stable food supply requires. Why should I supply you with a list of businesses that receive the same tax breaks—they all do. Your selective attack on one is unwarranted—attack them all. I am guessing you were/are a bureaucrat.
