Ultimate Teabagger hypocrite tells me: "So you're mooching off the govt tit these days."

[Elwood P Dowd]

Met an old family friend and known big-time repuke teabagger type. Told him I was retired now and living off Social Security, and I had applied for VA Health Care benefits. This guy has inherited tons of money and purchased tons of farm land the past 30 years, so I decided to check out if he is receiving any government farm subsidies. Well, since 1995 he has received $1,300,000 and change from THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT TIT! That's just in one county. I think he owns land in others also.

If you know someone you suspect is doing this, check out this site and take a look. I was shocked at the number of rich kids and non-farmers raking in massive amounts of cash.

2. My senator (and family) Mr. Chuck Grassley

has been subsidized to the tune of @1.2mill
He is a small gummint guy.

[brewens]

3. The most worthless pile in Grant County Washington is a

teabagger drunk that inherited the family farm. He sold most of it off to the Hutterite community that is adjacent to his land. I seriously doubt he has the wherewithal to work the system other than the disability he scammed I'll ask my girlfriend what his last name is and check it out.

15. Grant County..THAT is rolling farmland!

I grew up in Hop Country, Yakima County and now reside in Snohomish County, an official west-sider.

4. What state,county are you talking about?

Nice link , but not sure which state to get the info from.

[Elwood P Dowd]

7. Check out your state and county first. Then check out the state and county where

your Senator or Congressman is from. Check out the home county of any wealthy repukes you know.

5. Print it off and tell him that the government's got some huge tits for him to be sucking off of

like that.

Fucking Randroids. Hypocrites, all of them.

[Poboy]

10. I agree. print it out and mail that to him.

[bullwinkle428]

6. Oh yeah...I recognized some names BIG-TIME! Some first-class

hypocrites, to be sure!

[Mojeoux]

8. We are as worthy

as these horrible hypocrites. That is a big part of this shit.
Some of these people who are born rich have a fantasy that it means that they are more beloved of God.

My children are as worthy, my life, your life is as worthy as the life of any rich person.

9. time to eliminate all subsidies for corn, meat, dairy - dont need meat or dairy and non-food corn

needs no welfare to support it

[KelleyKramer]

11. Way to go Elwood ...

I havent been on DU in a long time, good to see you are still around.

Keep up the good work!

Kicked and rec this

[AlabamaLibrul]

12. Found one!

A certain RepuKKKe asshole who does more than well enough for himself, and he is no farmer. Apparently got $900 in peanut subsidies in 2003 :wtf: and has been paid since 2006 under the "Conservation Subsidies" column.

13. I know one of our most prominent Republicans. His family

was granted 640 acres of land in Ohio when it was opened up for settlement back around 1800. The land has passed down through his family for over two hundred years about 20 years ago he inherited it from his father. Shortly after getting the land he sold mining rights to it for an unknown sum, his cousin told me he was getting over $50,000 a month in royalties for several months while they were mining it. Recently he sold the gas drilling rights on his property for an unknown sum. Other landowners are getting around $3500 per acre for that so with 640 acres I would guess he is getting over $2 million. But he probably gets more than that because they are going to locate two drilling platforms on his property. In addition to that they get about 15% royalties for the gas that is recovered. Now to top all this off the last ten years he has received over $200,000 for not growing crops on the land nobody ever paid one cent for. He got as sign in his yard SILENT NO MORE.

[elehhhhna]

26. ...and if he drops dead this year his lovely heirs will pay NO inheritance tax.

Management perpetuates itsself.

[Liberal In Texas]

14. Yeah, they talk a good game ... until it comes to them.

Have a friend who is a Rush-bot and "libertarian". He loved *Bush and was all for the Iraq war. Then first his dog got sick and ran up large bills, then he did. Saw him the other day and he's declared bankruptcy (no personal responsibility oh the horror!) and is now on disability. He had to drop his health insurance and I assume his cancer treatments are being paid for by medicaid.

I feel like throwing it in his face, but the guy has stage 3 cancer and I just can't do it.

[reggie the dog]

22. tell him that he should just die and do the country a favor by saving money

by his own logic he will agree with you. ask him why he didnt just kill himself when he went bankrupt. how can he want to take "entitlements" if he thinks such programs are ruining the usa? tell him that he can either live as a hypocrite or do the honorable thing and kill himself. then ask him if his is still a libertarian.

[cali]

24. I know one of the guys who received the third highest amount in subsidies

in my county. He really is an up at 4 a.m. real dairy farmer BUT he is also a trust fund baby.

[enough]

25. Great site, thank you. Maybe you should write that guy a little note. (nt)

[JoePhilly]

27. Ask him to sign a petition to end farm subsidies ... when he says no,

show him what you found and laugh in his face.

[Initech]

28. See? Teabaggers are the ultimate "I've got mine so fuck you" crowd!!

[mistertrickster]

29. Great site. Turns out our "fiscally conservative" Gov. took almost 50K

[MaeScott]

30. K and R. More light is good. nt

[hootinholler]

31. The bitch of this is that this program was enacted to help the family farmer survive

This was never pitched as a way to build mega-farms, but to subsidize family farms who voluntarily removed acreage from production so our surpluses would be as large.

-Hoot

[Scuba]

34. Yeah, but most of the money goes to sugar. Big sugar.

[Zoeisright]

32. I certainly hope you told him "not as much as you do".

These assholes need to be called on their stinking hypocrisy every single time they open their ugly pieholes and spew garbage.

[Scuba]

33. Great link, thanks for posting. n/t
