You are making big generalizations about the farmers and I don't think them being hypocritical in their beliefs is a reason to punish them. Subsidizing agriculture goes way back in American history and I would say overall it is a good thing. It gives people access to staple foods that would otherwise be inaccessible to most of the population.

I said "nothing in my opinion" to the question of what's wrong with subsidies. I'm not sure why you're suggesting I was attacking them.

I didn't generalize farmers, I generalized farming areas because there are political voting maps that demonstrate that.

Your response feels more like an agenda you've set out to explain, rather than a response to my comment.

"That's not true! That garbage pile over there came from a dumpster behind a candle company and they needed to dispose of last seasons stock!"
