He “owns” and he “has”, but these are abstract considerations, and his “involvement” is surely on a similarly abstract plane. The purpose of these subsidies was, and is ( as far as any purpose may be advanced on principle ) to aid “struggling farmers”, not to provide financial opportunities to the super wealthy.

That might be what the politicians tell the gullible, but the laws are carefully drawn to benefit the big contributors as well.
