Regarding Farm Aid, I don't presume to speak for Mr. Murphy but my response would be: Why is it the gov- ernment's job to subsidize the farmers? Hint: It's not. Kudos to Willie Nelson for Farm Aid. That was a privately funded operation and example of how things probably should be handled. The problem with the government "solving" this issue is that it takes money away from one group of people and gives it to another, i.e. socialism. Regarding the poor being poor because of their own decisions...the truth is. generally speal ing, that is true. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence.
