“For the record: the entertainment industry is the most overpaid, overpraised “industry” on the planet. Nice of you to compare the marketers of deviance and depravation to the suppliers of the cheapest and safest food on the planet.”
I would like everyone to notice how protectionists always drop the economic argument as soon as possible, and even legalistic and political arguments, in favor of irrelevant moralistic nonsense. This makes it so that I can never really tell what they’re getting at, and eventually must content myself with the explanation that farmers or whoever happens to be sucking at the teet is special and I should lay off just ‘cause.
Vilifying the productive is a leftist trick. The economic argument if you want: how bout halving entitlements. Entitlements are busting economies aaround the world, not business subsidies.
