They aren't "reasonable prices" if they are subsidized by the state. The state can sell things far below market value because it could not care less about losing money.

So? The federal government heavily subsidizes the corn industry. They also subsidized the dairy industry. Anyone remember when the feds literally bought up tons and tons of American cheese wheels and stored them in dry caves for mold and spoilage control, and started handing out blocks of government cheese for free? Taxes should be used to help pay for services that help American society at large, especially the poorest and neediest of us.
