Really! So, if I get this straight, the gov’t confiscates their crop, then sells it and use the proceeds to pay the people that confiscate it. What a deal.
Reply to myself. Reminds me of when I read aboout a Doctor in CA saying that he had been cut to $12 a visit so he was losing money, but he understood the budget problems in CA. I wrote him and told him that he had to be cut because the social services (union) people that signed people up for his services had to have higher pay, free insurance and big retirements, and that’s why he had to take a cut.
That is baically the same gig, getting paid to take from the producers.

This is where Tony Soprano learned his trade.
