Once people started talking about the money going to Big Agribusiness, I realized the problem in question isn't a problem of the poor or even helping the poor. It's a moral problem of people trying to avoid putting more dollars in the pocket of Big Business, but being willing to sacrifice the poor to do it. I'm sure (or at least I hope) the people posting here don't realize it, but that's the Tea Party position. And it is the same as hating Obamacare because it enriches Big Insurance. Sure, let let all those poor people die by the road side...as long as not one more of my hard earned tax dollars finds its way into the pocket of Big Insurance!
We're in the last stages of Monopoly Capitalism. At the end of the line of distributors, there is going to be a Big something. If it's not Big Government, it will be a Big Corporation trying to take advantage of economies of scale and muscling out the little guys.
If you want to play 11-dimensional chess to figure out how to suck those Monopoly Capitalists dry, please do not mistake those on welfare for your Welfare Queens to sacrifice in way-too-clever gambit moves. If you want to sacrifice someone, start with yourself.
