Exactly HOW have tobacco farmers gotten money 'for generations now' from the g'ovt??
Please be specific, and please only describe how TOBACCO farmers get money from the g'ovt.
They got it by the quota system in use,where only certain people can grow it,and even they can only grow so much. This amounts to a government mandated monopoly with price supports. They have been getting this for generations because the permit to grow tobacco passes on to the heirs of the farm.
