That's pretty surprising coming from the PPOT anti-generalization champion (any thread about Muslims, hello). In fact, I know a lot of people who live in rural areas. They are ranchers and farmers. Guess what? Lots of them are millionaires. In fact, a relative of mine owns a quarter horse ranch in rural Texas and she is worth several million at least.
Talk to Snowman about generalizations. But you DIDN'T, did you? Why NOT?

I know farmers ALSO receive welfare too. I DON'T.

No, most people who sponge off the government live in urban areas, they just have to live in the slums. Here's an interesting stat for you:

Urban Poverty rate: 20%
Rural Poverty rate: 14.6%
That's because farmer's welfare pays better.

Perhaps you might rethink your preconceived prejudices against rural folks.
Maybe you might rethink reprimanding Snowman for same about us professional, well-off, hardworking, NEVER EVER SPONGED EVER...not even a little bit of farm "subsidies" (as they call it) city-folk.
