Subsidies = taking away from those who have worked hard, produced something people want to buy, and paid taxes on their profit. Why should we punish hard work? What is the point in keeping price of items such as milk ARTIFICIALLY low with subsidies? Instead allow people to expand businesses and create more jobs for people who can then afford to buy milk or whatever for the true cost of production.
Subsidies is the opposite of free market capitalism (FMC). Nothing is perfect and all pluses, but FMC has reduced more poverty than any other method everywhere one looks.
I did not say subsidies were necessarily good or bad but rather their existence is not evidence of U.S. farming being under the thrall of Marx.
