You guys hate farm subsidies, which is a farmer tax break. It is there for a reason. You can google all the reasons,

You do get the insanity of your argument right? On the one hand the engine of economic prosperity are subsidies/tax breaks to farmers and other primary producers, which is what governments do, right?, but somehow government 'creeping in' will also end all of the prosperity that it was fundamental in helping to create??!! Go champ!
I have never said anything against farm subsidies. It is agriculture monopolies that I oppose. They prevent capitalism and competition. Agriculture monopolies are hurting most farmers.

To my knowledge, these are not monopolies. If I am wrong, then antitrust laws should be applied.

Settle, Suzianne. Is not every entity biased in some way. If you ask 50 people/entities if student loans should be forgiven, each would have their own opinions, which would be bias. Start a thread on those which are not biased. So how have you been? We need more fire in the Forum.
