farm subsidies apply to tobacco companies

Oh, so it wasn't specifically for tobacco. In that case, I think we might as well count schools, roads, and anything that is subsidised.

Those programs are infrastructure, or a nearly universal benefit. Corporate welfare to a specific sector of the economy is totally different. There’s also no reason a farm subsidy couldn’t exclude tobacco.
