Some "slick" folks(I know a few) figure out how to work and play the system and abuse the hail out of it... They screw it up for everybody... They give all farmers a bad name.....

But most are still small family owned farms
A small farmer/rancher from what I remember is a producer of $250k or $300K per year...……..in the world of farming today that is super small. I remember calling on "farms" in north central Iowa for Asgrow Seed Company that were $3-$5 million back in 1991.

No they never set around in the local cafe, all do long, during farming season, after driving there in $70,000 trucks, only to brag about how they were screwing over the government subsidies system in the sum of $200,000-$300,000 a year of tax payer money for NOT farming...
I don't really blame them, I blame the system that allows for them to abuse it..
It's to easy.. All government handouts are to easily abused!!

Originally posted by M16 View PostThe better question is. How much did Barry and the Clinton Foundation siphon off before Iran got it's hands on the money? Do you really think they sent all that money over there without someone getting a cut for doing the deal?
I truly believed/thought that if Trump won the election that the Clintons and the Obamas would flee the country in the darkness of night for the fear of being prosecuted for the way they sold this country out.... I am highly dissapointed about this at the moment.. There is always tomorrow...
