On a large scale, they have made it impossible to raise corn and not take
the subsidy. Not taking the subsidy would guarantee bankruptcy for
individual farmers, they simply couldn't afford to loose that much money per
acre. If ALL the farmers could refuse it, once the over supply of corn was
consumed, it would be a different story. But trying to organize farmers is
about what I think it would be like to organize New Yorkers.

Thank you for the correction, and I apologize for the vast
oversimplification of farming subsidies.

Your take on government subsidies (opposed to) does raise some interesting
issues though....
