Yes. We are subsidizing the wealthiest corporations in the world to underpay their workers and then we're subsidizing those workers to pay full retail price for the food that we are subsidizing farmers to produce. Yet no one who works for a living is making any money.

Farmers aren't making any money, retail workers aren't making any money, train workers aren't making any money, truck drivers aren't making any money, but Walmart, Monsanto and Union Pacific are doing fantastic.
