Cut Food Stamps so they can Help Rich Farmers

[jwirr]

There is an article on the Common Dreams site that should interest us all: www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0312-05.htm

I hate to say it but I actually agree with bushie on the ceiling each farmer can collect.

1. since the majority of money goes to the

big corporate farms adn not going to the little guy that truly needs help

2. That's right.

So many of these big farms are run by people who want nothing more than to get even bigger. Why? Because they will qualify for even more gov't welfare.

3. Yes, I am was raised an Iowa farm girl

and I have watched the big farmers knock the small family farms out of the race for years. From the sound of the article this one issue is something that both parties can agree on. However, it is the other issues that bushie will place in the bill that worry me. Democrats should be sure to read the fine print before they sign on the dotted line.

4. Excuse me

The article only pointed out how the uber rich will maintain their tax cuts while the poor will have cuts.

5. Some of the family farmers have formed an old fashioned co-op and set up

in downtown Little Rock. The veggies are very fresh and some of them have told me that the few times they can come into town really makes a difference to their survival. I have to be proud of their determination to stick with the life they want and not give in to the corporate giants. One man told me that Con-Agra has been after his farm for years but he won't sell.
