A lot of little farmers would go broke, banks would be repossessing land with falling value. John Deere, IH, Cat would all be losing sales and laying off. People on welfare don't pay much in taxes.

That's the fear. I could use the same analogy as you have to defend subsidies to the Restaurant industry, etc, if we had them. It's hard to get off the government teat.

A "Small Farmer" goes out of business, and people shed tears and have fundraisers. A guy goes under at his hot dog stand, nobody gives a shit.
