Businesses and farms should operate without government subsidies. The government is inherently going to have to favor one industry, company, or trend over another. The inevitable result- higher prices, less choice, less information. It is important to remember that when government is subsidizing certain industries, projects, and companies, it is automatically punishing certain other industries, projects, and companies. If one day it is favoring your ideals, the next day it may be on the side of your enemy.
People are better off with free trade than with tariffs.
All of the above arguments apply equally here. If the government wants to take any role in the market at all, it should offer itself as an impartial information clearinghouse- to provide consumers with the information they need, should they choose to use it. Also, government's involvement in the market amounts to it telling us what to buy, which is well beyond its proper role. Minimum wage laws cause unemployment. Businesspeople should be allowed to run their businesses as they choose, as long as they do not initiate the use of force upon anyone.
