Letter: Socialism and the American farmer | INFORUM – INFORUM

Category: Socialism

Until the election, we will be hearing everyday about the radical, leftist socialists who want to take over this country. It is easy to imagine how frightening this must be to some Iowa farmer who has never read anything more enlightening than the operators manual to his hay baler. This same farmer may have collected $1 million in USDA payments in a 10-year period and received $100,000 in Market Facilitation Program payments last year. This year, he will receive a 60% to 80% subsidy on his Federal Crop Insurance premium of $80,000.

This farmers seven children all received a free K-12 education, but he is convinced that anyone who proposes a free K-14 education (includes two years college) is a Marxist-Leninist who wants to turn America into Venezuela. His greatest fear is that his single parent worker making $14 an hour with two children might be getting too many food stamps.

He has never really understood what the word hypocrisy means.
