[kaydee457 13]

The article needs to be posted under he headline: Ten Things the Democrats Won't Do To Hold Corporations Accountable. Corporations do not only own the GOP. They own the Democrats, too, you know. They own this whole fcuking place and everything in it...

Such a pessimist.....At your age you shouldn't be so negative. Corporations make 'da wurld go rownd...Democrats and Republicans know this.....That's how you and I subside.

We don't farm anymore, you know? Industrial revolution mean sump'tn to you?

Corporations as we know them today are a perversion of what a free market is suppose to be based on - real consumer choice through competition. Without that fundamental element and it's not really a free market, it's an oligopoly... Does that word mean sump'tn to you?

Yes, sheesh liberal nuts everywhere!

Carry on with your delusion......

Tell that to California- the 5th largest economy in the world and its largest industry is agriculture- not Hollywood and not the tech industry.

Why always with the insults? Why can't you argue the issue rather than spew such insulting things?

Mary Jane is the largest cash crop. I think citrus after that.

Kaydee, perhaps if you actually spent more time reading conservative publications instead of relying on talk radio for your sense of idealogy, you'd find out just how ignorant your above post is...

You've heard of the Heritage Foundation, yes?

How Farm Subsidies Became America's Largest Corporate Welfare Program

excerpt.....

Under this mistargeted system, agriculture policy has become America's largest corporate welfare program. According to the Environmental Working Group, two-thirds of all farm subsidies go to the top 10 percent of subsidy recipients while the bottom 80 percent of recipients receive less than one-sixth of farm subsidies. A full 60 percent of America's farmers do not qualify for any assistance. In 2000 alone, more than 57,500 farms received subsidies totaling over $100,000, and subsidies of at least 154 farms topped $1 million. Among these beneficiaries are fifteen Fortune 500 companies, including Westvaco, Chevron, and John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance, which receive as much as 58 times as much as the median annual subsidy of $935.8

The current system has caused hardship not only for the taxpayers who pay this enormous subsidy tab, but also for unsubsidized farmers with small farms. Many of the largest, most profitable farms and agribusinesses that have received the lion's share of subsidies have used these funds to buy out smaller farms. In what one agriculture official calls the "plantation effect," family farms with less than 100 acres of land are being bought out by larger agribusinesses, which then convert them into tenant farms. To date, three-quarters of the nation's rice farms have already become tenant farms, and the ownership of other types of farms is beginning to trend in that same direction.9

In other words, far from saving America's family farms, the current farm subsidy system is destroying them.
