Take the banana farmers up north, they have had it rough, so we, the tax payers come to the rescue.
Now while this may seem the right thing to do, just think about the farmers that don't get effected.
Take bananas.
Normally sell for about the mid $2 per kilo, now, $12 per kilo, so, the farmers that have bananas to sell are making a killing.
So, how about a scheme that takes the 'excess profits' from the 'lucky farmers' and gives it to the 'unlucky ones' at their time of need, thereby relieving the burden the us, the tax payers.
As it stands, we the tax payer, the 'farmers saviour' get screw twice. Firstly, we contribute part of our taxes to those effected, then, their brothers in arms screw us because they all of a sudden are presented with this monopoly.
Of cause, bananas are just one example.
Is there any merit in this?
