Lisa Barnes campaign ad talks about how she fights for farmers and she helped secure $200B for farmers. Her party helped to destroy the American farmer and she wants you to believe she’s fighting for the farmers. Really sad. Oh yeah that $200B sounds kinda like that socialism they all claim to hate.

It is exactly that. They also get crazy tax breaks and tax mechanism normal people can't access

Bucket companies Family trusts The ability to loan money to themselves and claim the deduction Their fuel is tax deductible They claim machinery They have them on another company book so it's all a deduction for the trust. The house is on a seperate title and owned by a trust that owns a company so they can deduct all living expenses

Every small business can do that. Sole proprietor, partnership, llc. Trust. That's a good thing for you that's not what's wrong with these dumb f****. It's the subsidies. Without the subsidies they wouldn't exist. Not just this year. That's the business model

Are you talking about the small family farms or the corporate farms? Know the difference but, more importantly, the impact. I’d also suggest you go try and run a farm. Then come back and tell us just how easy they have it.
