Cynical Sebby knows this shit happens because rich people know how to retain lobbyists. Dopey Sebby thinks all the lobbyists in Washington D.C. work to increase the size of welfare.

Ah, yes... Larry Ellison's well known soybean farm empire from Kansas through South Dakota. Farming. The bastion of the Rich.
I spotted you defense spending. You can't cite it again just to fluff your response, guy. I may be drunk, but I used to try cases and even win a few.
Privatization of Govt Services? How's that taking from a poor person and giving it to a rich person? Are you suggesting the govt is taking business from its poorer service vendors and giving it to those with higher net worth?*
Explain how "Everything the Commerce Dept does" takes a dollar from a poor person's bank account and puts it in a rich person's. Again, I'm not entirely sober, but when someone who's as sharp on detail as you hold yourself up to be starts chucking blanket statements like that at me, I smell deflection.
All sorts of natural resource deals? Again, are you suggesting the poor who had natural resource deals have had them taken away and given to the rich?
Earmarks? Awfully specific of you.
You aren't citing a single instance of removal of dollars from the poor.
* I have govt contracts. Crap. More trouble than they're worth.
