My thought is that the government shouldn't be taking any money from anyone, period. Of course I've mentioned before that the government doesn't exist if it can't get money from somewhere, so taxes become a necessary evil.

But these guys are talking (at least on the surface) about subsidies, not tax breaks, and I agree. The government shouldn't be spending our money to subsidize major corporations. Nor should they be subsidizing farmers at the same time food crops are dying due to lack of distribution, and farmers are being paid to not grow certain crops.

Political grandstanding? I think so too, but we'll see.
