Do you even READ the post? I have been talking about agriculture, you know farming, and statements by the American Farm Bureau. Not one word about carpenters or plumbers

That you intentionally failed to mention how illegals have a negative impact on wages in the labor market is all a part of your lib-retard agenda to misrepresent the facts.

To insure certain products are still produced domestically so that the U.S. is not solely dependent on foreign sources for certain commodities.

We are paying it for no good reason. It was started during the Great Depression to help family farms, not large corporations.

I'm talking about illegals, terrorists, criminals, cartel guys, entitlement seekers and leeches, kid. I know you think these things are important to america. But they do nothing but lower the standard of living.

The Erie War
Shortly after the mid 19th century, Cornelius Vanderbilt set his mind to building a railroad empire: a monopoly. As part of that plan Vanderbilt intended to take over the Erie Railroad controlled by Daniel Drew, James Fisk and Jay Gould. After Vanderbilt had been swindled by Drew, Fisk and Gould in a stock fraud that prevented Vanderbilt from buying the Erie Railroad, he decided to undercut the market by cutting freight prices he charged for the railroads he already owned. Vanderbilt believed he could recoup his losses by setting the market price after he had established his railroad monopoly. Of course, Drew, Fisk and Gould responded by cutting the fares charged by the Erie. This tit-for-tat price cutting went on for a while, but then at one point Vanderbilt realized that the Erie RR was still charging a higher rate than he was, but it was still in business. Vanderbilt then discovered why. Drew, Fisk and Gould were buying freight (cattle) and shipping the cattle on Vanderbilt's railroads and making a considerable profit off the cheaply transported freight while Vanderbilt continued to suffer a financial loss. Eventually, however, the Erie did fail.
Without competition, monopolistic ventures (as exemplified by Vanderbilt) can charge what they want. It would be worse for this country if certain of those ventures were foreign owned and controlled.

You've drifted from discussing subsidies for farmers to discussing a real estate magnate. As originally conceived, farm subsides were meant to cover the difference between what a farmer could and would produce for the market if left to his own devices and the amount the government directed him to produce in order to regulate and keep the market stable by throttling over-production. Then there are the subsidies, e.g., in the sugar industry, to bolster the domestic market against foreign competition. FWIW, most people working in the sugar industry are not multi-millionaires like Trump.
