| Well that doesn't make any sense at all. Not only are you paying through taxes for them not to grow food but your also paying for food thats kept at an artificially high price so that the ones who do grow can survive.
For sure dropping subsidies is going to hurt a lot of farmers but that does not mean the whole industry will collapse.
And it will force those who want to survive to get inventive, create niche markets and new methods that will improve the whole industry and create a better product.
There were job losses in NZ at the start as well but that slack was soon taken up by people getting inventive and creating new ways to do things.
I see no reason why itshouldn;t be the same with you. |
