The rich are different from you and me: They get subsidies.

    Farm Subsidies

    Just simply do away with the whole damned farm subsidy program.

    However have you ever noticed how many of our unemployables, oops I mean senators and congressmen/girls receive farm subsidies? Have you ever noticed the lack of corn fields in the Sutton Place area in NY and yet there are farmers there receiving subsidies?

    For the hot info on farm subsidies Google Farm Subsidy Database. It'll make you liberal urban folk so outraged that you'll forget how much you detest our president and how much you crave our failure in the middle east and how much you wish for the Gitmo detainees to be free to live in New York City.
