Congresswoman Roby says she’s against redistribution of wealth . However, she’s in favor of farm subsidies which are clearly redistribution of wealth. She says the farmers need a safety net because of the particular nature of the business. Paradoxically, she says we should have never passed the farm subsidy bil , which makes it difficult to understand why she’s in favor of it now. The press secretary requested a copy of the interview which we sent, but received no comment.

How hard is it to say that society is in a bind. We subsidize corporations because they lobby for it and we don’t want to subsidize the poor because there’s nothing in it for us.
Talk of “Farming families” is sentimental nonsense. The fun bit was the audible switching of tracks inside the head of this inexperienced politician and the amplification of the smile to incandescent.
