"The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time."



You sure did not hear the Republican candidates talk about eliminating tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops away when they were stumping for votes among farmers in South Carolina, Minnesota, or Iowa, did you? In fact, Michelle Bachmann and her husband receive thousands of dollars in subsidies for the family farm each year.
