[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3234090, member: 29267"] I know it increases prices. You can’t get around the consequences of taxation. But in general I prefer tariffs. I think tariffs are more practical and less harmful to the economy in the long-run, but my opinions on this are mainly philosophical (do what’s more just, not what costs less). I’ll also say it’s a topic I admittedly don’t know as much about as I’d like to, so my views might easily be changed. I also think farm subsidies hurt farmers in the long-run, and hurt the resiliency of the food industry. All this government manipulation trying to encourage economic activity x and discourage economic activity y and help prop up essential economic activity z ultimately makes markets that are unstable and industries that are unviable without the government getting even more involved to try to “fix” the problems they caused in the first place. That’s not the only reason I think farm subsidies hurt farmers, but couldn’t help but put that rant out there. [/QUOTE]
