I was holding back a bit, because I don't want to sound like a hypocrite, since my grandpa was a farmer/rancher, but one of the things that gets me the most about subsidies is, the fact that some act like they won't get by without it, yet they drive a $60k pickup, the wife drives a $60k SUV, the 16 year old kids, drive brand new $30k vehicles and they just built a new 5k sq ft house 5 years ago (when prices were all high). Then they look at me like I'm scum, because I work for a living, drive a 40 yr old pickup with 320k miles on it and my 900 sq ft house cost me $17,500, and is about 110 years old.
They fail to realize, that if you turned us both upside down and see who owned the most, I'd be better off, because I'm not owned by bankers and the Gov.
Sometimes, I have a hard time distinguishing the line between politician and farmers and welfare families, other than the fact most farmers actually produce something. Not all mind you, just some. Some farm for insurance, and subsidies.
