6. That piece of shit from Tennessee.

Who wants to cut food stamps but got 3.5 million in federal farm subsidies.

“A Tennessee congressman who supports billions of dollars in cuts to the food stamp program is one of the largest recipients of federal farm subsidies, according to new annual data released by a Washington environmental group. Using Agriculture Department data, researchers at the Environmental Working Group found that Rep. Stephen Fincher, a Republican and a farmer from Frog Jump, Tenn., collected nearly $3.5 million in subsidies from 1999 to 2012. The data is part of the research group’s online farm subsidy database from which the group issues a report each year. In 2012 alone, the data shows, Mr. Fincher received about $70,000 in direct payments, money that is given to farmers and farmland owners, even if they do not grow crops.”

Is this entitlement OK in the eyes of tea partiers and conservatives who rail against big government? After all, it is a Republican and conservative who is receiving those entitlements. Do both of these instances equally upset you? If not, why not? If so, where’s the outrage?
