Topic 7: Government Farm Subsidies


The video talks about that the government’s subsidies go to farmer who earn less than one-quarter million per year. The produces’ point of view is that they do not support farm subsidies. This is because that the main people who are getting the money or benefits from it are the rich farmers. The poor farmers which the subsidies are supposed to help do not get the subsidies. Many people decide to leave the situation basically because they can’t survive in that situation anymore; the government is not helping them. I agree with what the producers said because the main suppose for the government’s subsidies is to help the poor people which in this case it only help the rich people. This is helping the situation, so I do not support farm subsidies. I think one subsidy might help the poor formers is that the government increase the minimum prices for agricultural produce. There are other industries that need subsidy such as medicine and Junk food. I think education need to receive subsidy because therefore, schools can have better quality because they have more money. Also everyone is paying the tax, so it encourages everyone to get education because if they do not get education, they might think that they are wasting money. People who do not have school-aged children will have to paid for tax to support schools as well, because education is like one of the most important requirement for the whole world.
