Answer
This statement is not true. First, not all consumers of a particular good are taxpayers or vice versa. Taxpayers are forced to fund price-support programs for agricultural goods (e.g., peanuts or sugar) whether or not they choose to consume these particular items. Second, and more important, price-support programs do not allow us to subsidize through taxation what we would otherwise be spending at the checkout counter.
