So out of all of those teaparty congressmen they mentioned only ONE who would be hesitant to give up her farm subsidies. WOW. Talk about propaganda. And I love how the headline made you think the story was about the actual tea party and not the congressman that they backed. By the way, if you are collecting farm subsidies under the current system, you are not a hypocrite at all. You are just striving to avoid being made a schmuck under the current system and rules. If I dont think a $400 work tax credit should be given out to people, should I avoid taking it? HELL NO. I just did my tax return today and I didnt feel one bit guilty for accepting the make work pay tax credit. Now, if there was a different system set up where people didnt get freebies like that and we have a better tax structure with less regulations, I believe I would be doing better than I would in the current system.
