Oh, yeah! The politicians are getting between us and our food, eh? Corporate welfare ransom payments (taxes) are therefore the only way to insure that Americans get fed?

LOL!

So, I guess everybody wants to get their food from China, etc.
And, the lower part of the state gets the most because that is where the farms are. Go gripe about the bankers or lawyers or somebody else who do not actually produce something.

All politicians are rats and liars. Party affiliation is not important. The government “take away” game is just intended to line pockets, get votes and keep the little people thinking they can’t live without more government take-away! Now, don’t forget to hate the rich, believe the lies and hope that your vote will result in something for nothing for you too!

Kamerad! For the glory of the party and the state, CORPORATE WELFARE!

You fascist Dem-wits should be saluting Ott, Clyburn, and Spratt! These are your party leaders–and they are FASCIST PIGS!

BTW: Philip, your eco-fascist energy independence has already been tried–in the name of national security and self-sufficiency–by Nazi Germany in the 1930s (http://mises.org/books/vampireeconomy.pdf). It was all about socialist control then just as it’s all about socialist control now. Whatever happened to being part of the global community, anyway–at least in terms of trade?

And yeah, I know, most of the Republicans in this state are about as bad. Lexington County’s own fascist king of pork, Jake Knottzi, comes quickly to mind with his own particular brand of corruption and thuggery. He’s the perfect bad example of what happens when institutionalized corruption collides with rampant stupidity.

Somehow FITSNEWS doesn’t strike me as being really concerned about any family farmer being gobbled up by giant agribusiness.

Giant hog farms seem right up your alley.

The Spratt and Clyburn districts account for 59.3% of the Fed handouts.
