freepers will attack working farmers
///
???
i have NEVER seen a freeper attack a working farmer.

only for getting paid for NOT growing, or for ethanol which is utterly insane for many many reasons.

there is a GLOBAL food shortage. making inefficient “gas-lite” while people stave, is pretty close to evil.
especially when it doesn’t accomplish ANY of the stated goals for it, from EITHER side.

right now, Farmers do quite well in a free market.
(and likely to continue, as the world continues to get colder for the next 20-30 years)

but, if food prices fall, i’d MUCH prefer to give direct subsidies to farmers, than for any of the current idiotic programs the Founding Fathers somehow missed...

So you are suggesting that farmers should not be free to sell their products in whatever manner they wish? Are you suggesting that you or the government should take the fruits of the farmers labor and do as you please? If so, you are no freeper. Grain has been turned into EtOH since before agriculture came into existence. What do you know about farming?
