The ethanol industry also depends on continued government subsidies from planting the corn to pumping the ethanol into your car

I recently read an article saying that our taxes subsidize the ethanol industry at the rate of $1.05 per gallon. IOW, we pay at the pump for the ethanol that's ruining our small motors, (and also damaging fuel systems in older cars), and then again when we pay taxes used to subsidize production of the ethanol that's doing the damage to begin with.

It was 45¢ per gallon and that tax credit ended 2011.
