I want a pony too. He tries to take away much of this fine tasting gravy and these guys will drive their half a mil tractors and close to a mil combines out to DC and stick a pitchfork in his black ass that they hate anyway
Just out of curiosity, because I live in a small farming community, I checked the list of subsidy recipients by zip code. I found a couple of local farmers who received $1500-$3000 in the past 5 years, all for flood control. The other 20 people on the list all live in the nearby big bucks golf course "community." The top one gets $700,000 a year for not growing rice, all the rest make a considerable amount of money. I don't know any REAL farmers who will suffer if subsidies are cut. But if they aren't, I've decided I'll apply for a subsidy to NOT grow Marijuana. That's the crop that makes the most money.
Hi Jan - that's a hell of a good idea. Some of the guys I know back in Iowa have surpassed a mil and headed for the second one. These guys are the ones that own most of their land and have the biggest house and pickups.
They own senators and house members as well as John Deere's and Massey's. They plant dollars in the pockets of the politicians and they grow. There good at growing. DC is fertile ground.

ReplyDeleteHeh. I bet most of the dudes getting the big bucks don't own pitchforks.
ReplyDeleteThat's for damn sure jeg-none of these guys pitch manure anymore.
