Here is a case made for why subsidies to huge agribusinesses are hurting taxpayers and damaging the economy: Archer Daniels Midland: A Case Study in Corporate Welfare. And it's published online here by the CATO Institue, no less. Da-aym.

[I should mention that the title of this post is my opinon, not relating to linked article above. CATO is against welfare to poor people AND to businesses, I am against subsidies, or welfare, given to for-profit companies, pork-barrel projects in other words. Unlike the CATO institute I do believe that people need a saftey net to keep out of desperate poverty.]
