The Raytown farmer who posted a sign on a semi-truck trailer accusing Democrats of being the “Party of Parasites” received more than $1 million in federal crop subsidies since 1995. But David Jungerman says the payouts don’t contradict the sign he put up in a corn field in Bates County along U.S. 71 Highway. “That’s just my money coming back to me,” Jungerman, 72, said Monday. “I pay a lot in taxes. I’m not a parasite.” After a story about Jungerman’s trailer ran in Sunday’s Star, however, some readers called him a hypocrite for criticizing others for getting government help while taking government subsidies paid for by taxpayers. Jungerman said he put up the sign to protest people who pay no taxes, but, “Always have their hand out for whatever the government will give them” in social programs. Crop subsidies are different, he said. When crop prices dip below a certain point, the federal government makes up the difference with a subsidy payment. According to a farm subsidy data base, Jungerman received $1,095,101 in the past 15 years, including $224,763 in 2000. Last year, he received $34,303. Twice in May, somebody set Jungerman’s trailer on fire. An empty farm house of his was also burned. All three fires were arson, officials said.

Won't bother to ask why the opinion since it'll be typical nonsense based on the fact that corporate welfare did not exist before you tards (R and D's) figured out how handy it was to purchase votes with taxpayer dollars. You people have no solutions anywhere do you? BBBBWWWWWWAAAAAHHHHAAAAHHHHAAAA!!!!
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way. Below is positively the most hilariously BS overflowing comment from the resident obamunist spent-condom EVER:) "This is WHY I left the GOP in the mid 90's. ." Dwarf
pay a lot in taxes my ass, we all do, unlike you however we don't get to suck the government tit like jungerman does.
Twice in May, somebody set Jungerman’s trailer on fire. An empty farm house of his was also burned. All three fires were arson, officials said. HA!! Jungerman is burning their @sses... The Party of Personal Destruction and Property Destruction are scrambling to shut this guy down - whether it's burning down his barns and buildings and trailer, or as now "discrediting" him a la Joe-the-Plumber. Next, the Dems will accuse him of "relations with farm animals."
Excellent point. I can't afford them.
Who the fuck do you think buys all of those John Deere's and Cats!? We bought a near new John Deere last year and receive no subsidies. Of course the gov considers us a hobby farm.

You must be wealthy. Do you own a Hummer too?
I used to own a Dodge 4 wheel drive Cummins diesel... does that count?

Does this "count," jag?
The most Conservative people I know are also the ones raking in every government dime, subsidy, and exemption they can get their hands on.
You people have no solutions anywhere do you? My guess is we've just about reached the point of critical mass - where there are more sucklings of the government teat than suppliers. Question to all those who are ready to tar and feather this guy: if he hadn't taken fam subsidies, how the hell was he supposed to compete with farmers that did? I guess it would have been better had he just quit the farm and gone on welfare, huh?
If I could, I would. Nah, that would make him a member of some "oppressed" minority group. They'd be all for him, then.
If I could, I would. Stay home from the track, then.
If I could, I would. Are you giving away Hummers?
If I could, I would. How can you know any conservative people? Don't you live in California?
If I could, I would. "Do you own a Hummer too?" "Are you giving away Hummers?" LOL... &;-)
We bought a near new John Deere last year and receive no subsidies. Of course the gov considers us a hobby farm. Then you either own a dealership, or you haven't checked your local auction. I'm pricing a 1985 40 hp jd right now in someone's front yard. 8D Let me buy you your next jd and I'll save you 20%.
Excuse me. I missed the 'near new' part. 8D
;}
BBBBWWWWWWAAAAAHHHHAAAAHHHHAAAA!!!! Again per lib/LP. You have zero empathy. Little memory. Who is 'you people'. Cause I got lots of time and Goldi isn't here. ;} Look forward to your reply. ;}
8D It was used to haul parade floats by the dealer so had no hard hours on it.

Piss on all of 'em. Ahnold took office about 8 years ago and the Calif gov't "worker" rolls have gone up 40+ percent in that time. HOW'D we ever manage to survive before he came and "fixed it all up" for us?

So you have that many parades that you need a full time dedicated jd? Now THAT's a Fun Town!!! 8D
First, what I'm trying to figure out, e, is how you can use the familiar name of mine while hiding behind your pseudonym. Second, I have no interest in trying to save civilization, which is irredeemable and omnicidal. But I am interested in extending the lives of the relatively few people in the industrialized world willing to make substantive changes in their lives. Sadly, that leaves out nearly everybody with whom I converse or correspond. Third, "I have empathy for people in general Jim" No, you don't. As seen by the long list excluding the Wealthiest, Military, Head Priests of ALL Organized Religions, as well as those Lying Pundits that are forced down our throats by the MSM.
Since California has one of the lowest state employee to population ratios, I don't see how your statement can be true. In California there are 103 state employees for every 10,000 residents. Illinois had the lowest ratio at 97. The U.S. average was 143 state employees per 10,000 residents. California’s ratio of state government employees relative to population was 28 percent below the national average. Nevada, Arizona and Texas were other states with the lowest ratios of state workers to population. When state and local government employees (including education) are added together, California has the fourth-lowest ratio of employees to population. www.capitolweekly.net/article.php?xid=ypedn5l6zf57oq In fact between March 2008 and October 2009 70,000 state and local government jobs disappeared while the state's population grew.
I would appreciate it if you would provide a source for your data. I'm sure you wouldn't make something like that up.
Now THAT's a Fun Town!!! 8D lol... we have the normal amount of parades, but they said they wanted to keep it looking good. I think they lent it out to the 4Hers and other groups for demos too. All I know is the tractor looked new, had very few hours and seems to be performing up to expectations. If the purchase was entirely up to me I would have bought the next smaller size, as this one won't fit between my rows.

My favorite JD. Elvis and I had/have the same tastes. He bought his in Tunica, about 35 miles from my home. ;} Click thru to see the restoration of the 4010. http://www.deere.com/en_US/newsroom/2009/releases/corporate/8may2009_elvis.html
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/california-fiscal-disaste/2009/10/06/id/335415 Just the Cali State employees....not counting the enabling ahnold in allowing for instance Tony Villar in LA to grow LA city drone employment over the past 6 years while the City has been tanking in red ink for the past many years. This of course makes sense to you destructive regressives:) But yes .... my quick source check for you comes from my hack site of NewsMax.....while you quote some tard hack government employee fawning "CapitolWeekly" site whose political leanings are juxtaposed to those of NewsMax. I'll take NewsMax along with my pair of open eyes and you can stick to your SEIU union shill rag and your pair of ruinous open eyes. You know where this leads........ Next you'll vapidly bemoan Cali's number of largely sucking un-needed drones needs to grow to meet the growth in population.......chuckles......like nobody can see the demographic of that same growth in population.

NewsMax, you've got to be joking (They're the ones running the "Where's the Birth Certificate" billboard campaign, aren't they)! And who does NM quote? Why none other than Grover Norquist, the neocon who brought failed California economic policies to the federal level. You don't like my "union shill rag" source, OK, here's another www.economist.com/node/16015487 and another www.nationalreview.com/ag...ublic-sector/reihan-salam The author of the above article does a better job getting to the heart of the problem - cost of California state employee's benefits, but misses the history. Grover is quoted “Several things have happened,” Norquist said. “Because they’ve shifted the tax burden to high-income earners, high-income earners have been leaving the state. . . These new people coming into the state tend to be low-income and not paying a lot of tax increases.” California state and local sales taxes are 20% of taxes collected, while personal income tax is 19%, corporate income tax is 5% of the total. Looks like them low-income peeps is sharing in them tax increases too.
Obama should just show the birth certificate (he can't). And you liberals should quit pretending he showed one. Why do you hate the constitutional requirement to be a natural born citizen.
Who should he show his birth certificate to? Why do you hate the constitutional requirement to be a natural born citizen. Why do you assume I hate the Constitutional citizenship requirement?
Why do you hate the constitutional requirement to be a natural born citizen. Why do you assume I hate the Constitutional citizenship requirement? He should show it to the Wall Street Journal. The New York Times, Matt Drudge and myself. It is no assumption. You implied a news organization wasn't credible because they are asking legitimate questions about the usurpers missing birth certificate.
The Economist claims it "is not a chronicle of economics."[5] Rather, it aims "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress."[6] It takes an editorial stance based on free trade and globalisation, but also the expansion of government health and education spending, as well as other, more limited, forms of governmental intervention. It targets highly educated readers and claims an audience containing many influential executives and policy-makers.[7] The publication belongs to The Economist Group, half of which is owned by the Financial Times, a subsidiary of Pearson PLC. A group of independent shareholders, including many members of the staff and the Rothschild banking family of England,[8] owns the rest. A board of trustees formally appoints the editor, who cannot be removed without its permission. In addition, about two-thirds of the seventy-five staff journalists are based in London, despite the global emphasis.[9] Chuckles......there's your "Economist" for you. Socialist Brits for globalization. Rothchilds and all. Yes!!!!....there's a source faaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr better than your gov't suckup rag you noted early on. What????....you think anybody here with any wits would just allow you to post such drivel? Thanks but if anything NewsMax prints can't rank above the shilling of a collection of Limey "nose up" psuedo economists who couldn't find their way to the front door of the Brooking's Institution without being led by the nose......wellllll.....whatever....

Pretty funny how your second source mocks your first Economist nonsensical posturing.... You state..."The author of the above article does a better job getting to the heart of the problem - cost of California state employee's benefits," and yet have a disconnect or intentional dissembling on the topic of whether Calif drones have increased or decreased in number. You asked if I made it up and if anyone has done such "making up" then it was not your's truly. Once again....I'll stick by NewsMax on reporting the growth of Calif drone "employment"....which was what you originally asked. Neither of your sources states otherwise. Clear on how this goes LM? Point.....it's good to "stay on" sometimes.
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way. Below is positively the most hilariously BS overflowing comment from the resident obamunist spent-condom EVER:) "This is WHY I left the GOP in the mid 90's. ." Dwarf
Neither of your sources states otherwise. NewsMax seems to have a problem with numbers NewsMax also claimed in January that the paid circulation of its magazine was 240,000, and in a recent e-mail to readers, claimed "more than 300,000 paid readers ... We have just surpassed almost every conservative publication in America." But according to the prospectus (filed in March, if you'll recall), the paid circulation is listed as "approximately 59,395." ... while you can get away with lying to magazine reporters and your own readers, it's generally a bad idea to lie to the government. All three of my sources agree that California has the third smallest ratio of government employees to population. As for the numbers stated by Norquist, neither he nor NewsMax provide a source. The impression the interview seeks to leave with the reader is that California state government is bloated, rapidly expanding the number of workers it employs and linking that to the state's current financial crisis. The fact remains California, by comparison to other states, is at the low end of the spectrum. As for the other issue introduced by the NRO article, I can see it is too complex for you to digest and so will let it go for now.
You do that 'kay?

The only thing missing was getting your permission, thank you.
Closing this out we'll both note at least I have some source for the question you asked of me. You have nothing.

During the past 10 years, the number of California state employees exploded from around 270,000 in 1997 to 356,000 today, which placed increasing pressure on the state budget, especially in the form of pension obligations.

The Economist is an English-language weekly news and international affairs publication owned by The Economist Newspaper Ltd. and edited in offices in the City of Westminster, London.[1][2] Continuous publication began under founder James Wilson in September 1843. While The Economist calls itself a "newspaper", each issue appears on glossy paper, like a news magazine. In 2009, it reported an average circulation of just over 1.6 million copies per issue[3], about half of which are sold in North America.[4]
