I found this website yesterday EWG || Farm Subsidy Database . It is great as you can search out who got what in farm subsidies. It did not shock me but confirmed what I already knew. I did get a little pissy knowing one of the local crooked judges here and his family has collected millions in farm subsidies. The reason this pisses me off so much is because I also know they helped steal honest peoples farms on rigged rulings like the one he made in my case where the bank committed so much fraud. To think they have gotten away with this crap going on forty years should have everyone up in arms.
The people are paying these subsidies so farmers can use the giant's chemical companies ingredients so they can be bigger, own more and get more money so you can put out more in tax dollars to clean up their mess.
Just the ones in Iowa alone. I have not done the searches that include their operations for MN, SD and Nebraska.
