Germany's finance minister has taken to the stage in front of thousands of jeering farmers protesting against tax rises to tell them there is no money for further subsidies.

    They get so many subsidies, at this point just nationalize the industry honestly. We pay for most of their profits with out tax money anyway. I don’t understand why they’re still privatised in this case.

      You honestly think anybody would be working those hours if they don’t even own anything? Also, if the state did what they do, employ a whole lot of foreign people and pay them way below the minimum wage, the outcry would be extreme. The state needs this to be private, otherwise it would be way more expensive.
