I wouldn't label anyone favoring farm subsidies as conservative, even if they would. Farm subsidies have been disrupting the market and raising the cost of food for everyone since the 1930s. As for "redistributing UP" as you say, I would be against it if it were possible. But the genuinely poor in this country who do work, pay little in taxes. In fact, due to EITC and various assistance programs one can qualify for regardless of job status, many "working poor" receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes. Not every working poor person, but many. And, obviously, the non-working poor are only capable of receiving money, not paying it.
