The title of "Big Corn" seems kind of silly, doesn't it? "Big Corn"! But it underscores how we have been brainwashed into thinking of only one industry as the big, evil boogeyman. Big Oil! Oooooh, scary! There is no "Big Software"! There is no "Big Computer Chip"! There is no "Big Healthcare" or "Big Pharma"! Just "Big Oil"! Brainwash complete!
We frequently hear Senator Barack Obama attack the oil companies, as if profitability is evil. Apparently, to him it is! What we never hear, however, is how frequently Senator Obama accepts donations and free airplane rides on the corporate jets of companies that make billions in taxpayer-funded corn subsidies. Companies like Archer Daniels Midland, a huge agriculture multinational that competes on the same level and size with the largest oil companies! And with better profit margins! So why no talk of Big Corn or Big Ag? Brainwash complete!
