A new weblog by an organization titled "Kick AAS" seeks to galvanize public support for the movement to end all agricultural subsidies. Definately a free-market must read. Here are a couple of tantalizing exerpts:
"Abolition [of subsidies] would save Western governments over $300 billion a year (equivalent to a cashback of over $200 for everyone) while giving a huge boost to agriculture in developing countries."
"The average European subsidy per cow matches the $2 per day poverty level on which billions of people barely subsist."
