So Rockefeller has been lining his pockets again?

"Well of course - if you can get free money why not?"

"It says the following in this report:

'Years of pocketing lots of money -- your money seems to be the answer.
Amazing as it sounds, your tax dollars have been going to rich guys like these in the form of farm subsidies. That's right, our government is paying big bucks to wealthy individuals who happen to own rural land somewhere, as long as they agree to federal rules about how -- and even whether -- they cultivate their spread.
From 1995 to 2005, Lay, the now-deceased Enron CEO, got $23,326 for conservation land in Missouri; business mogul Turner raked in $590,823 for farms in Nebraska, South Dakota, Montana and Florida; Donaldson supplemented his earnings as a broadcast journalist with $88,308 for a livestock ranch in New Mexico; and Rockefeller, a financier and philanthropist, got $553,782 for two farms in New York.
Appalled that your tax money is going to people who hardly need a handout? Well, it's worse than you think. According to a study by The Washington Post, since 2000 the government has paid people around the country $1.3 billion a year not to farm. That equates to 40 million acres annually -- "the equivalent of making every farm in Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio idle," says Brian Ried, a senior budget analyst at the Heritage Foundation.

"Well Big Paws isnt it rumoured that Rockefeller is an active member of Bilderburg too?"

"Oh yes - as you can see a very trustworthy individual - someone with lots of power and influence blatantly making a farce of the law and getting away with it!"
