At the same time that the family received the subsidies, they were also working under the hassles and taxes that come from the Fed and its bureaucracy.
Don’t forget those wise words of Senator Phil Gramm:
“If we should vote next week on whether to begin producing cheese in a factory on the moon, I almost certainly would oppose it...On the other hand, if the government decided to institute the policy, it would be my objective to see that a Texas contractor builds this celestial cheese plant, that the milk comes from Texas cows, and that the Earth distribution center is located in Texas.”
LOL, that was a good one. I may not have liked everything the guy stood for, but he was a character, in a good sense.
