Farm Subsidies

Farm subsidies, am I the only person that thinks farm subsidies are rediculous? Last year’s crop prices were at record highs yet congress passed a new farm bill that will give farmers a bigger handout than they were already getting. The average farm household earns $81,420 annually and has a net worth of $838,875. Farmers are doing great and don’t need help. What’s really going on here is the buying of votes, congress is using your tax money to buy the votes of farmers, if you don’t believe this check out the margin of victory for the incumbent congressmen in farm states. If you want to get really pissed off check out www.ewg.org/farm Then call your members of congress and tell them you have had enough.
