I am not convinced that paying people not to farm is entirely a bad deal, if you're willing to use money as a blunt instrument to make people do what you think they should do.

As for small business and Fortune 500 firms, if all of that money went to spinoffs and subsidiaries of those Fortune 500 firms, and those spinoffs and subsidiaries run largely independent of those Fortune 500 firms, I'm not convinced that's so bad either. Those entities can be quite independant of the parent companies while still being "owned" by their parents.
