The cure for the wacky liberal agendas.
OTOH, the farmers in the middle of the country have no problem taking farming subsidies from the coastal elites. What you're calling control of religion, many would call separation of church and state.
I come from a family that were big farmers. The amount of money it costs to farm, is ridiculous. Many of these overhead costs are due to the continually rising government regulations. The farmers accept the subsidies are needed to help cover these costs. On top of that, do you have any idea how much faming equipment costs?
Sure, they make a lot of money off it, but then again, they work harder than anyone you will ever meet. If they didn't get this money, they wouldn't find farming to be worth the effort. They would then quit farming.
They also accept these subsides because they are getting paid to grow what the government is asking them to grow. For example, corn is the most widely used crop. However, it requires a ton of work and overhead costs. They would rather grow alfalfa or wheat.
So, bottom line, please research why this money is being thrown out there, and just don't look for the ones that support your personal argument on it. I have searched both sides, and I lived it.
The separation of church and state is what's keeping the government out of controlling religion. However, many groups of people are working to find a way to get rid of this law. Just look at opening ceremony for the Olympics. The Bidens thought mocking The Last Supper was spectacular.
