[E. Pluribus Unum]

One child received reduced bus far and both had reduced lunch fees. I am not a farmer, just poor.

I live in a rural area myself. I love it. It's worth making less money to be able to chose who you associate with by putting a couple hundred acres between you and the rest of the world.

I have no issue with farmers, other than the ones who belong to powerful farm lobbies that are the equivalent of the NEA teachers union and the Teamsters. The subsidies on corn for ethanol and soybeans for diesel fuel production are pure robbery of taxpayers. A lot more energy goes into their production than comes out, and WE pay for it.

They lobby to make a living where they can because they can't make a living off of growing food. Here is some information on the farm bill. Pay attention to page 6.
