How can you be considered out of touch when you are visiting a person who has reports from 54 individual farms? Do you want someone there for a photo op or do you want them there to get a better overall assessment of the problem at hand?
I'm under the impression that the point of this kind of visit is to show off how he gives a shit about independent farmers who are struggling badly right now... So he should have visited an independent farmer who is struggling badly right now so he could learn what it is those farmers are going through and what they need for things to improve. Instead he went and hung out with a rich person who isn't struggling at all and doesn't need help. He learned nothing that will help those who need help.
Not to mention the guy is getting government subsidies of $154,000 last year. That's what pisses me off.
Subsidies that have been allowed under the Obama administration's watch. And he would be a fool not to collect them, as would a small farmer.
I get that. I'm for getting rid of them regardless who the president is. Why do republicans get so worked up over welfare but not this shit.
That's a good question (Although I actually support government subsidies for small independent farmers (a slot into which that guy does not fall - subsidiary farms aren't the same as small independent farms).
