I think they put forward another 15 billion, once they realized that the money is actually primarily going to agribusiness either directly or through rent extraction, they marked it down as yet another vector to funnel taxpayer money to the already rich

That message is: "Eat poo poo, you loving pussies"

Don't those in rural areas hold the most electoral influence, because of the low population density giving each vote more weight?

pretty much, but for every farmer there's 10 dipshits who live in a suburb that was printed off from template. That's the real base.

So these farmers take money from the government? Sounds like SOCIALISM to me.

One of the Bundy “militiamen” has lost his sole source of income thanks to his decision to join the merry mob of marauding morons in their armed occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. Was he skipping work? Nah — he would have to have a job for that. Robert “LaVoy” Finicum tells Oregon Public Broadcasting that he lost his meal ticket — children.

Over the past decade, Finicum and his wife’s home has served as nothing more than a revolving door for foster children, with more than 50 kids coming through their home. The children, who often came from mental hospitals, drug rehabs, and group homes for emotionally distressed youth not only provided the happy couple with a steady income thanks to money they received from the state, but also with workers on his ranch (which barely makes enough money to stay afloat).

“My ranch has been a great tool for these boys,” Finicum said. “It has done a lot of good.” Unfortunately, when Finicum ran off to play terrorist with his friends and he left four young, emotionally disturbed boys home alone to be cared for by his wife, let’s just say some flags were raised. Within four days of Finicum’s departure, the Arizona Department of Social Services began to remove his meal tickets from the home.

“They didn’t go out at the same time,” Finicum said. “One was there for a year, one of the boys was there six months, another eight months, and a month. I don’t know where they ended up.” Rather than blame his involvement with a terrorist group or his own irresponsibility, Finicum says the removals resulted from “pressure from the feds”:

“They were ripped from my wife. We are very successful (foster parents). Our track records are good, it’s been a good relationship. (Federal authorities) must have gotten to the governor, who told the state to get them out of there.”

OPB reports that this is a staggering loss of income from the Finicums, who have depended on the between $22.31 to $37.49 per day they were paid to take care of the children. According to a 2010 tax filing, the Finicums received $115,343 in 2009. At the maximum rate, this means they “cared for” an average of 8 children per day that year. And it’s exactly those dollar signs that concern Finicum, not the children he was tasked with caring for as his own:

“That was my main source of income. My ranch, well, the cows just cover the costs of the ranch. If this means rice and beans for the next few years, so be it. We’re going to stay the course.”

Another of the Bundy militants, Blaine Cooper, also claims that Child Protective Services removed his children from his home. At the Facebook page All Your Base, Cooper claimed that the removal of his children, which can not be independently verified, was an attempt by the FBI to “draw him out,” blaming the removals on “bias media and rear end in a top hat’s like” the page owner.

the suburban dipshits are way more common but they also individually matter way less and are way less secure a vote than hyperreactionary gun-clutching farm subsidy multimillionaires, if the Republicans were actually in danger of losing the latter it'd absolutely be a sign of the end times but lmao they're not

Those are called subsidies, sir, and they're different than the handouts those welfare moochers receive because racism.

you can make six figures a year as a foster parent?

and the foster system will give you 8 kids at a time to "care for"? jesus christ. my wife and i decided to foster once she is done with school because it seems like a good way to make a positive impact in the world for some vulnerable kids. you have to be a real rear end in a top hat to look kids as not only your only real source of income, but as laborers on your lovely arizona ranch
