And some of those hard earned taxes are diverted to farm subsidies which only serve to distort the market. Their main reason is political, to court votes. The majority of the money goes to big agricultural businesses with small family farms seeing very little. This enables big business to out compete small farms with economies of scale often making small farms bankrupt, these are in turn bought up cheaply.

I don't want to receive subsidies paid for by taxing hard working people. So reduce taxes, reduce government, let market forces dictate what farmers produce.
