the rural farm vote has cretated more woes than benefits.I have relatives who recieved checksfor not planting cotton and tobbacco.Ever wonder where the american textile industry died? Government backed cotton exports to asia and central america, low price cotton was available to those low wage areas, so the clothing concerns moved the factorys there, and many people lost jobs, sure a lot of them didn't pay great wages, bu it was work. that wasn't enough for agri business. Hire illegal workers, pay them cash, and leave the burdens of education and medical care to the tax payers. I know some small farmers went broke, their farms were bought out by the well healed folks, and with more land they needed more cheap help. I talkd to people who liked to work tobbacco, they didn't grow it, they just did the work as a mens for extra income.No it's ALL latinos.And part of that sometimes non taxable was being sent back to where they came from. When we wintered in the gulf, you could see those giant rigs that came close to being worth over a hundred Ks..Also government funded crop insurance, if my place of employment was flooded or storm damaged, sure I had the chance for un employment insurance. Guess who screamed the loudest about folks sitting on their asses and getting paid, wonder if any of those folks ever loooked into a mirror when they complained about welfare.
