Farm Subsidies are Bad

1. It's significant to note that rather than dead children resulting from livestock (beef in particular) the more harmful, long term result is methane gas. Methane gas is much to be concerned with in our struggle with climate change, and cows produce a LOT of it. For more information: https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/overview-greenhouse-gases#methane
2. I noticed this video was uploaded 5 years ago. You should delete it because it demonstrates that you have received the worst education in the field of economics imaginable. Your entire system is a joke. Farmers are in the business of making money and if people are hungry then there is a market for producing food. The fact that people starve is not due to America's food subsidies but due to other countries' own economic policies. And there are so many ridiculous, absolutely retarded assertions you made about corn as well. Just delete your stupid video and save the brain cells of impressionable people.
3. How about fuck the farmers, it's not goddamn rocket science. If they can't make a deal with someone without getting fucked, maybe farming isn't for them. You could wipe out a myriad of problems like global warming, starvation, cancer, The State, animal cruelty and suffering ect. by just simply going Vegan. Problem solved and everybody wins, except for the psychopaths who call themselves the Government. Not my problem, go try and gain employment where someone is willing to voluntarily pay you for your product or service. By the way, not much emphasis on The Cattle Industry in this video so I recommend everyone watch Cowspiracy. You may experience cognitive dissonance at first, but use Logic and not tradition to connect the dots.
4. Farm subsidies are given to food production in order to reduce the cost of food  to the consumer.Not to keep food producers in business.
5. Why don't Americans just pay for their food and then there will be no need to subsidise the production of food any more.
6. I have learned a lot from your uploaded video. I am doing a report on the Doha Round Negotiations for my Foreign Negotiations class and now have seen the light. I am from a rural part of Texas and reside now in Georgia and was thinking about settling down and going back to my roots and beginning farming. But, now I see it really wouldn't be worth it. But if I do grow it would be for myself and family.
7. I hope you don't mind but I put your video on my petition https://www.change.org/p/barack-obama-u-s-senate-to-stop-agricultural-subsidy?just_created=true
8. Paying AMERICAN FARMERS not to grow so Monsanto BAYER etc forces GMOs upon Humanity. ALL paid by TAX DOLLARS
9. I stopped watching when you started rambling about soldiers dying as an effect of agricultural subsidies. That's a classic slippery slope if I have ever heard one.
   
   While most of what you say is partly true you completely disregard market forces other than the agricultural business.
   
   I agree that subsides are not good. BUT, we can't blame all the pain and suffering in the world on agricultural subsidies. That's absurd and highly suspicious.
   
   Our government does have the responsibility to protect our economy. And when the government isolates part of our economy from third world countries which are able to produce goods at a much cheaper price because they use slave labor there is inevitably going to be fall out in foreign economies.
   
   However, just as the US government has a responsibility to us, foreign governments have a responsibility to their citizens. If they can not product food cheap enough to export it then they need to produce something else. THAT my friend is the beauty of economics as defined by scarcity and supply and demand. Something has to give in order to get something else.
   
   As for the rest of your arguments the same applies. The oil industry is a very profitable and powerful industry. If they want to spend money on research and development of new and cheaper energy then they will regardless of agricultural subsidies. And people not affiliated with either the agricultural or oil industries are free to spent their time and resources looking for cheaper and sustainable energy sources.
   
   You simply went too far with your argument that agricultural subsides are bad. Sometimes, less is more. And in this case its so.
   
   My personal opinion is that subsidies create a deadweight loss and the consumer loses because A) the consumer pays a higher price for the good subsidized and B) the consumer pays the taxes that the government uses to buy the surplus that the farmer is not able to sell at the higher price.
10. High fructose corn syrup is a gmo? A gmo is a genetically modified organism. Is syrup an organism? And do you want to eat? then don't criticize the government making food more affordable. Cheap corn? the corn is just the same quality as any type of corn, it is only cheaper because american agriculture is so advanced we can produce more with less. Cows that are fed corn are healthier than grass fed because their feed is more monitored than a free range pasture. I would research more an ag before you criticize it. Because without american agriculture, the ENTIRE WORLD would be NAKED AND HUNGRY. 
11. By the way, the top 10% of subsidy recipients are the full-time farmers, mostly family sized farms or similar.  The bottom 80% are less than 10% of full time size, (bottom 50% are, at most, about 3.3% of full time size; bottom 33% are at most, 1% of full-time size). This distortion creates the myth gone viral.  See:  Most EWG Subsidy “Recipients” Are Too Tiny to Be “Farmers” on web.  Don't give up.  It's a hugely important cause.  We need your help.  
12. The Family Farm (Farm Justice) Movement has fought for the same values for 60 years, but this video (& almost all others) misunderstands the issue. Cutting Food stamps won't raise wages at Walmart, nor will cutting compensations to farmer-victims of low prices make Cargill pay more. The problems are real & huge, but it's ABSENCE of minimum Price Floor Programs, not the PRESENCE of subsidies. Corps got $4 trillion from farmers, not billions. Farmers got $500 billion back for net reductions of 3.5 trillion (adj. 4 Inflat). See my "Farm Bill & Food Bill" playlist, esp. top item.
13. And Indian Is the only country that has stood against such subsidies by USA , good work Indians !!
    
14. Corn is sent to factories to make genetically modified food? And why emphasis the genetically modified part when talking about unhealthy food. It makes you sound like you really don't know anything and you just looked up bunch of stuff on internet.
15. Where are your sources?
16. Very good video, I'm a graduate Econ student and I vouch for you. The problems you raise are caused by many things, farm subsidies being one of them. Great work!
17. Let's hear your side then, otherwise this isn't a very constructive or helpful comment.
18. I'd like the see the sources; it'd help my paper!
