contrarian view

inequality in a free market system might not be so bad"  "what's good about inequality...wonderful force of creation..."  jobs' product story.

we aren't talking about the 1% that are jobs people

most of the inequality is similar to what just happened last week with the agriculture bill.  willie nelson has been singing for the farmers since the 80s because of inequality in coroporate welfare.

Jobs made his Apple work without any corporate welfare and i am ok with THAT that is what the guy interviewed is talking about

however in the real world most of the problems arise at the gaspump
i got crap enthenol laced gasoline that is robbing me of 5 mpg and a reduction the power performance or my car.
how is that done?

subsidies to the agricultural industry.

blah blah blah.  we had subsidies that supported famers with up to 500 acres starting in the 50s.

that has morphed to the money being given to industrial farmers who have one 2,000 acre facility that feeds (and ocassionally poisons) people in 26 surrounding states.

about 50 companies get billions of dollars in subsidies from the feds.

last week the elimiated those subsidies with fanfare.

then they re wrote the law so they don't have to play tricks and make believe the little farmer gets a helping hand to feed me n mine and created a new law that shunted the money to primarily the industrial farmers to grow corn for ethenal production that is sold on the international market for profits  BIG as profits and meanwhile i am getting 13mpg in the city instead of 18mpg like i used to get.
