Should Govt Subsidies Pay for Alt Right Hate?
Cause that is what they are doing.

The Center, based in Emeryville, California, found that the Spencer family is absentee landlord for about 5,300 acres in six different farming companies in Louisiana.
The Spencer family also received more than $2 million in U.S. farm subsidy payments from 2008-2015.
Asked on the Reveal podcast whether he uses income from the farms to support his “alt-right” advocacy, Spencer would not specify, but claimed donations had increased to his institute tenfold in the last six months, significantly growing what was a $100,000 budget.
Spencer told Letson, “I am proud of my grandfather. I am proud of what he built.”
He added that “We’ve all benefited from white privilege,” and “I want my children to have white privilege.”

So let me get this straight. Repukes are angry about a social safety net paid for by the government, but they have no problem with the federal government paying for the likes of Richard Spencer to create and fund his National Policy Institute? Well, excuse me but I would rather let people on welfare buy cigarettes and Twinkies with their government checks than to give millions of dollars to support the likes of punchable Mr. Spencer. Maybe it's time this subsidy scheme comes under closer scrutiny.

to get back at the government for the Civil War. Good old Louisiana cotton plantation days paid for by northern tax payers.
