Uncle Sam gives ethanol manufacturers a 51-cent-per-gallon subsidy.

The total subsidy works out to quite abit more when you figure in the subsidies for the corn itself, for transportation, and the tax abatements at the pump. Lots more.

Uncle Sam gives ethanol manufacturers a 51-cent-per-gallon OF OUR TAXES.

The total AMOUNT OF TAX MONEY works out to quite abit more when you figure in  YOUR TAXES. for the corn itself, for transportation, and the tax abatements at the pump. Lots more.

 
 
Me MUST remove the word "subsidy" from our vocabulary and replace it with OF OUR TAXES, or MY taxes, or Your tax money or something similar.
 
GRANT is ANOTHER weasel word that hides the taking of your money by force to give to others for 'Good Intentions"!!
