If dairy farmers get $1/gal, they're lucky. And who's getting the other $2/gal?

The article would read much better if it stuck to the core points attempting to be made, rather than incessantly employing the label "socialist" as though it shed light on the issue. The philosophy of your endeavor can be well conveyed through the writing of clear and concise articles, rather than those that rely on the invocation of some dreaded "ism" every other sentence.

The progressives among you are on the right track with your hatred of all things corporate, but you must realize that your proposed solutions will make the corporations even more powerful. The case of Hein Hettinga illustrates the point. In the U.S., we don’t have a free market in milk, but rather milk socialism. It’s this milk socialism, pretending to be “milk marketing,” which keeps Big Corporations in business, drives small guys like Hein Hettinga out of the market, and drives up the price of milk, cheese and other dairy products. Clearly this isn’t progress, unless your goal is to create a corporate state.

Hell, we have a oil cartel (OPEC), and now a milk cartel? All this story is missing is a Jack Abramov and a Tom Delay... Well, I don’t see how forcing a milk supplier to be non-competitive works…
