@mstar, Actually, I would. Sometimes we only had ramen or potatoes for dinner when I was growing up. That is why I look with a critical eye on the large subsidies that some big corporations are given.
[In agriculture, for example, it’s the very large corporate megafarms that recieve the vast majority of farm subsidies. (These are the farmers of commodity corn and soy that go into making almost all the junk food and that goes to fatten up cattle, which is why junk food is cheaper than healthy food and helps poor people get fat.) Meanwhile, farms that grow healthy food like fruits and vegetables don’t get nearly as much in subsidies, if any at all. These subsidies come from tax payers like you and me, or, more likely, from adding to the national debt, and are a great example of what I’m calling a “redistribution of wealth” to the richest tier at the expense of small business and the People.]
And oh yeah, welcome to Fluther. I hadn’t noticed you were that new. :)
