“Rather than taxing millionaires, the first thing we ought to do is quit giving them subsidies,” said Sen. Tom Coburn, the Oklahoma Republican who offered the amendment to the massive spending bill the Senate was debating into the early morning hours Friday.

This is good, but I doubt that there are any farmers who will admit to being millionaires. All that I know say they have never made any money just lost EVERY year.

Bruce Springsteen gets subsidized by this fund, he has 100 acres and one man farms a very small portion of it, less than 5 acres but Bruce gets money cause he claims the entire piece of land as a farm.  That is what they are referring too and Bruce isn't the only one.  Huge corporations own much of our farm land and they all get our money for using it or not using it depending on the subsidy.   Just so you know they aren't talking about the family farmer in this one.
