I agree with that. This taxation scheme to do things for which taxation is not meant for, abusing its powers and jurisdictions, is plain toying with communist and socialist rationalisation fire. These people not only get taxpayers in a bind, but they get themselves in a bind if one day the government has to cut the spigot or encourages instead -directly or indirectly - people to buy foreign crops.
Last but not least, they get this welfare money with their very own farms as collateral in case they are suspected on not complying appropriately. At least with banks they can file for bankruptcy and hope to get something back from the farm. With the government they will get nothing back, except a law suit slapped at their face and even costly jail time in a jail cell instead of the farm they once had. Worse their stuff could fall under BLM schemes that "saves" farms for farmers from banks if the famers allow wildlife to run around.
I mean, for goodness sakes, this BLM and farm bill stuff is right out of the collectivization schemes in the former Soviet Union with law enforcement taking over people's lives and properties, sending entire families to jail and their children to CPS, simply because they decided to grow crops on property a day the nation was starving or prices of crops went up, making farming viable again. It really is shaping to create some really irrational and unworkable contracts, turning the nation either into a contract breaking culture or into a contract enforcing culture of horrifying proportions.
I'm afraid it's true that taxation is meant exactly for abuse of power; that's the whole reason to have taxes instead of user fees. The power to tax is the power to destroy precisely for that reason. In the hands of Democrats and Republicans that power will always be abused.
