| Message | And what about our native farms? Once we, the government, stop subsidizing our farms they may be forced to give up their forms due to lack of income. This cannot be allowed. |

| Message | Nonsense. If they can't survive in the market place producing and selling their products or services like everyone else does, they can have access to the same kind of state welfare and unemployment insurance as everyone else. There is no fathomable reason why certain professions must be attributed lifetime grants and subsidies. |
