I have a proposal, it's about taxation without representation. Tax any food items that contains inputs or was produced with inputs that received ag subsidies. The subsidies should be 100% funded from this tax.

Book keeping nightmare

Unfortunately taxes have a way of ending up in the general revenue column

Never seen a tax I liked yet, and I feel this would only hurt good farmers and ranchers and the ag corporations would find a way to get around the tax burden..

If you don't like subsidies don't tax en. That is just another way of control by the government. Do away with the subsidies. And by this I meen all subsidies.
A question though if you start adding a tax on subsidies, would it be a far stretch to cal reup bonuses for the military a subsidy.
Let's not start down another taxation road
