As if getting tons of taxpayer money through Federal Farm subsidies wasn't enough

It now appears that our state law makers are willing to extend the dairy and livestock tax credit. Since 2004 the state has issued $200 million in tax credits. This credit isn't free money. Tax payers actually have to anti up for this credit.  Can we really afford this during a budgetary crisis?

  1. Of course, you're correct in implying that farm welfare is the same as any other welfare.

    I won't defend the practice, but I will say that I applaud any effort to reduce taxes. My preference would be for everyone's taxes to go down, though.
