Majority of Americans More Concerned about ‘Socialist Left’ Than ‘MAGA Republicans’: POLL

Maybe you need to include farmers welfare to be fair.

Government payments (excluding crop insurance payments) to farms have fluctuated since 1933, from a low of $1.5 billion in 1949 to $32.1 billion in 2000. In 1949, government payments made up 1.4% of total net farm income — a measure of profit — while in 2000 government payments made up 45.8% of such profits.

In 2019, farms received $22.6 billion in government payments, representing 20.4% of $111.1 billion in profits.

I never understood the farmer subsidies..paying people to not produce.

Read the link. You tell me how you describe the government taking from the people to give to corporations.

Fascism.

I've covered Trump and his supporters hypocrisy where it comes to corporate farm subsidies many times.

The church has always been quite socialist in nature.

Is that good or bad?

It's Biblical.

But the previously, long time in existence farm subsidy doesn't count?
Knew people who owned some 250 acres, many moons ago. Never farmed it, yet all they had to do was cut the fields to get the subsidy.....But Trump's wrong.

Helping the poor is not socialist. Socialism makes everyone poor.

Response:

Not at all. Have you not noticed Putin's Wealth and those of other Russian Billionaires? How about XI and Kim?

Trump was nowhere near being president when I learned about farm subsidies.

Why not just produce and sell or give the surplus away or grow something not in surplus??

Was it hypocritical for some then also? Of course.

How about Biden and Pelosi?

No, it was well intentioned at the time, just like welfare.

Have you not noticed the manner in which you advocate for all Americans to be serfs when they do not want to be, faggot?

It could be but the discussion wasn't about intent. It was about hypocrisy. Those on the right don't see welfare programs as well intentioned.

I'm a Trump supporter and I oppose all subsidies, farm or otherwise.

Only hypocrisy is from you.
Trump...Trump...Trump.

What good do farm subsidies really do? Drive up food prices? That's just more money out of everybody's pockets.

Then why continue to vote for them?

 

[pknopp]

Only hypocrisy is from you.
Trump...Trump...Trump.

I don't think you even have an idea what you are discussing.

One would need to be specific.

More than you can imagine.
