@MarkShiffer @rap30 @brendenmoore13 I’m media for 30 years. My family still farms (north of I80) and I understand the welfare/subsidy system perfectly. He has found a way for the taxpayer to finance his campaign while his farm pays no sales taxes, he pays no income tax and his property tax is artificially low.
