[QUOTE="gberry, post: 701227, member: 3325"] Instead, our government gives the farmers handouts so they can compete with the imports. Of course, we call them subsidies to keep from offending anyone. I'm not certain of the solution and the far reaching effects of any changes, but, at least superficially, it makes sense to me to add a little tax on imports. This would allow US farmers to charge more for their product and be competitive. I think this would be better than using tax dollars to give farmers a decent living. Not to mention that most subsidies go to the largest producers which, as I understand it, was not the original intent. [/QUOTE]
