There are actually quite a few farmers against farm subsidies because they allow the big corporate farms to get bigger as the corporate

How ironic: a socialistic measure which goes against the little
farmers.

Actually, there are a lot of government programs that work against the little guy. Most do it by requiring paperwork that the little guy just doesn't have the time, nor financial resources, to complete. The regulations that come with all the business subsidies don't hurt the big guys because they already have people in place to do the paperwork. The added overhead either keeps the little out of it altogether or runs him out of business simply because he can't afford it.

Socialism sucks on so many levels it just isn't funny.
