Not trying to imply that the boondocks is some kind of consumer paradise. But if a rural area's economy depends on exports, then it benefits from infrastructure projects that allow that exporting to occur. The benefits are not infinite; but they're meaningful.
On the other hand, if a rural area's economy is totally isolated from the outside world, then all my respect goes to it. Or if that's a goal for the area... by all means, cut off your exports of food and lumber to the cities. Hold it hostage in return for lower taxes, which despite being city-folk, I myself support.
Oh, and, vote for congressmen who veto spending bills. Including agriculture subsidies, if you want to be principled about it.
