[Hoot Gibson]

Youre right, thats why I said "some" and you said "most." This can go hand in hand though. Increasing profits through subsidies is a form of buying votes.

All subsidies increase profits or reduce losses. The only thing that determines whether the increased revenue of subsidies results in a bigger profit or a smaller loss is the price that the market sets and corporate greed has nothing to do with it. Politicians like to accuse corporations of greed because it takes the focus off of the truly greedy ones leveling the accusations.
