[QUOTE="johnr, post: 60948, member: 395"] Crop insurance subsidies are not a direct payment to a farmer, they actually go to the insurance company to lower the farmers premium cost. Kind of like how those of us that have sent kids through school, everyone's property tax pays towards the cost of that school, but not everyone has kids. We want cheap food just as much as we don't want dumb kids. I've never used the fire department either, but am happy my taxes keep it alive. Never been a fan of the argument that the few cents each year that I pay in for a crop subsidy entitles my to use someone else's land, anymore than the food stamps I provide for my loser neighbor entitles my to her thanksgiving dinner. A lot of times the farmer is required to insure his crops by the bank to secure the banks investment in the operating loan, farmer has no choice but to insure, same as when you have a mortgage and have to insure that.
