Blue states generates the most wealth and pays for red states (wage, salaries)

Without the agricultural subsidies, would growing wheat, corn, soybeans, and rice even be economically viable in red states?

So you don't mind giving a huge chunk of your money to the government and pay for everyone's welfare benefits?

No I don't because my ideology extends beyond lining my own pocket. I recognize that to do business it is better for me to have poor people who aren't starving and who can read.

Perhaps that business about Trump voters earning more is just BS.

From what I've read, the great majority of subsidies go to agri-businesses rather than our neighbors, the small farmers.

So you won’t be accepting Medicare when you are old and bed bound?

The vast majority of “Welfare” spending is for the elderly.
