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.

Well, it seems you have answered the riddle.


Follow that logic to it's inevitable conclusion, and you predict exactly what is happening. The takeover of the corporate farm. ( Gosh, how could legislation that pernicious ever get passed into law? )

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.

Perhaps you forgot who is running the hegemony.
