There are times when the capitalist system doesn't cure all ailes.

You're right, of course. But then again, it never claimed to. It's the most efficient system we have, not the most holy.

Rather, it is socialism that claims to cure all ailes.

What's worse than socialism? Well it's those who support it. Those folks on the left are downright scarey. I'm not a fan of socialism and the damage it does to incentives, and all the marxist agenda that goes with it, so I am sympathetic to your arguement.

If a suggestion to do a top to bottom evaluation of farm subsidies was raised, with the emphasis of intelligently protecting private farms vs corporate farms, I'd be all for it. I am rather confident that the present system is out of whack, and in need to tweaking. Frankly I think we could accomplish all we need to on a lot less money.

The food supply is about the only interest I want the government's fingers in when it comes to protection. There might be one or two others. But let's be honest, the government screws up everything it touches. The least possible amount of governmental intervention would be my goal.
