The ones subsidizing the rest of the country. You think Cletus has health insurance while he cosplays as a farmer think his 600 dollar a month land tax is paying for his 4 kids in school? 9 out of 50 states pay federal taxes and those states all happen to have the biggest cities.
But hey I get it. My parents were cosplay farmers as well. Here I am working like a schmuck for a living.
I don’t get upset about people having a hobby, I encourage it. Just you know because you have fun doing something doesn’t mean the rest of us have to subsidize your hobby. I enjoy baking that doesn’t mean I get to quit my job and do it full time and depend on the government to pay me for it.
Knew a lot of families like mine growing up. Want to get a real job? No? Ok go back to failing at potatoes, and spend all your free time hunting while drunk.

I live in a major American city maybe 4 miles from downtown and I have a farm with fresh eggs and produce a block from my house.

My man, if people want to own a couple chickens it’s not that serious.
The rural welfare states are really a separate issue from that.
I do find it funny that conservative states are so anti-welfare when their existence depends on it though.
