You probaly pull the scab off too don't ya!! Are ya sure you want to tug on that thread? To late to put the finger in hole in the dike now.
Walfare is like beauty, only in the eyes of the beholder. I don't farm, but make my living pretty much off the farmers.
Alot of honest farmers will tell you that it is walfare at its biggest. It in turn has affected our comunity for sure. They own two semi tractors, haul corn and beans directly to the river.
They buy their crop inputs direct, and elimate our town's people. They vacation away from here as well.
They have put the small farmer out of business also. In our town we hear the bad remarks made about farmers walfare all the time, that is why some refuse to burn gas with corn products in them.
Remarks are made like we want cheap food so pay the farmer walfare. It is viewed in the rural towns as .......I'm going to cut my food expences so I'm taking the wife out for supper so I don't have to buy groceries.
If anyone is wondering about who gets what, just google EWG farm subsities, click on your state, (on map)then enter your county. It is said, and I have never looked myself, but the top ten farmers in Clayton County Iowa get more than --ALL the welfare combined.
EWG is broke down on how much each year, and I have been told they are trying to indicate the ones getting a piece of pie in all corners of their mouth by makining corperations, putting the wifes name seperate etc.
What a country we live in, No one gives back a check from the government and we certianly won't hand back the new checks we are going to be getting. And we will all continue to complain about the other guys getting a free ride.
I would be intrested to know what the average check on this board is for hand outs, and very concerned as to the amount of complaining about walfare as compared to their check size.
There is a (mean spirited) formula in our coffee shop, it has to do with the new pickup, car, tractor, combines, and semis compared to the walfare checks. I've read it a few times, but can't remember, but refers to the (amount of complaining so no one notices their check amounts)
Our old neighbor always said, those of us that have been blessed are offended by those who haven't been.
For all of us that complain about everyone else getting handouts, we are the same ones who complained to mom and dad that our brothers and sisters always got more than us as well.
I have numerous friends that get the checks, they are the butt of our jokes, they admit that it is a handout or walfare that is a sad cry from a joke. They return the slams to me also, no one gets mad.
But I can tell you this much, the ones getting the checks are the first to complain about a child getting food on his plate. They don't believe in abortion, but don't belive in feeding a child once the mother gives birth.
