Ah yes, we the people benefit when our tax dollars are redirected to very profitable multinational corporations.

Look, I do not like Farm Subsidies. But the _effect_ of the farm subsidies is lower prices. Our farm subsudies are a major issue with the WTO.

But to call Farm subsidies Corporate welfare is BS. What people are talking about when they say "Corporate Welfare" are tax breaks to specific industries.
