If we can rid the nation of all government checks and subsidies, count me in, but to selectively demonize agriculture as welfare and all the rest as independent businesses, count me out of the BS. For the record, my father never accepted social security until we forced him to at age 78 and he was penalized when he needed some return.

When I said ALL, I meant ALL.

It wouldn’t JUST be subsidies, it’s got to be a return of the Free Market.

We’d also have to strip out all that which govt does to benefit one over another. Monopolies (too big to fail) cannot exist w/out govt. torquing the system.

The only reason it’s cheaper to make/ship from China is the corp. tax rate, EPA, OSHA, unions, regs, HCare...all the GOVT.

If milk costs $7/gal, it costs $7/gal. But, *I* have the freedom to choose WHEN/IF I buy at that price.
