Hi.  I'm a she, actually. :-)

I actually disagree with the premise -- the subsidies themselves are not per se a symptom of the corruption etc., but the fact that so many people are dependent upon them is.  Any country with poor people in it should take steps to ensure that those people have enough to eat.  Ideally, yes, we'd like countries without poverty, but there aren't very many of those.
