Why Does Anybody Get Federal Farm Aid?

Lew Rockwell.com reports:

The real problem is that, as with almost any government program, the implementation of farm aid results in, shall we say, "improper" recipients. For instance, it was recently revealed that almost three quarters of farm subsidies go to the richest 10% of American farmers, and that the cost to the average American family was over $400 a year. According to the Associated Press, the database, which was culled from information recently released by the United States Department of Agriculture, includes about 358,000 beneficiaries who received $9.8 billion in crop subsidy benefits between 2003 and 2005.

Theft on a grand scale.
