Comic: farm subsidies


Farm subsidies are supported by most factions of the mainstream political spectrum for one reason: nobody wants to be guilty of "letting family farms perish". Subsidies are supposed to level the playing field and guarantee a basic income for those who pursue this traditional and hard way of life.

However, getting your hands on a state subsidy is an arcane and complicated task. Those who barely make ends meet by plowing their fields and harvesting their crops don't have time to get into this shady business and lack funds to hire a lawyer or tax consultant to handle it for them. Thus, agricultural subsidies flow mostly to big producers who thereby gain another advantage over their smaller competitors. Big agribusiness has the means to effectively siphon off subsidies. Family farms don't; they just want to honestly grow crops.

Farm subsidies are not a blessing to the family farm. They're another nail in its coffin.

There is no initial capital needed You may start to receive yields with as small sum of money as 20-100 dollars.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.
