Want to fix our gross gov't spending? Remove automatic deductions from payrolls. As-is, our pay is our "NET"

If you want that it's easy, just ask for a 1099 or corp-to-corp arrangement during the interview process. Corp-to-corp can be a real bonanza. You pay yourself about 60% of the income and structure the rest as capital gains on stock in your own company. It removes 40% of your pay from FICA. Don't pay yourself less than 60% or the IRS will start to hassle you. You get the added benefit of using the standard deduction on your personal tax return and getting itemized deductions on your corporate tax return.

is the subsidy for rice really a chopstick subsidy?......

If you think that's a reasonable comparison you're wayyy off the mark =/ rice can be used in a verity of ways, and be bought/sold/consumed for various reasons and markets, and has many spin off markets.

How many markets exactly does Animal Feed have? Other than, you know, animal feed. That is the sole purpose of the feed, and the reason for the subsity. Unless your food for school lunches program are running really short on funds...

of course it's a reasonable comparison....there is no "meat" subsidy, there is no "animal feed" subsidy.....there is a corn subsidy and it has as many if not more variety of uses than rice does....face it, your OP was a propaganda piece......
