a living wage in fair competition to corporate farmers is not welfare. Its leveling the playing field and provides some sort of governor on corporate avarice.

Subsidizing the sugar and corn industry (which cheapens the cost of soda pop and crap cereals, all sorts of cheap nutritionless "foods&quot to keep the wealthy rich is welfare. Keeping what we eat healthy and affordable isn't.

Did you also have problems with affirmative action and school busing, too?
