Save time and don't attack the source, IBD Editorial Page we've been through it before, it is what I read. But what about this little bit of information:

In fact, the average farm subsidy recipient has $200,000 in income and a net worth of about $2 million. The top 10% of farm earners take in 75% of the subsidies. Put bluntly, Congress' farm bill subsidizes millionaires and lets you pick up the tab.

What happened to the outrage on the wealthy getting the biggest benefit? Different from tax rate cuts, where in many cases the taxes paid in total dollars by rich people went up, here we are talking about taxes paid by middle/lower class income earners going directly into the pockets of rich people. How can Democrats compromise in such a manner, given what they say about rich people getting advantages under the Bush administration? I just don't get this whole "compromise" your principles thing. But then I assume people make decisions based on principles, is that where I am wrong?
