I have this idea to sell gluten free, non-GMO, organic bottled water. I think hipsters and liberal suburban moms will be all over it. Maybe whole foods will buy it as well.

People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. "Of course, we won't mind if you look around", you'll say. "It's only $20 per person". They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it, for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces.

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game; it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh…people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.

Rick Perry is the CLASSIC new rich Republican...
When he was a Texas cotton farmer he utilized subsidies to stay in business
He proceeded to fight for farm subsidies - which is what got him elected to office some 25 years ago

Now he removes subsidies - the very same ones he used
Classic Republican behavior

Donk hero Steve Jobs literally INVENTED the "supply it and the demand will follow" and somehow Perry is an idiot for stating the same thing.

Yes, just like Newton invented the Law of Gravity. Try and keep up.

Who knows, maybe Perry is a Jobs lover too....

So 83k in farm 'subsidies' over 12 years of tax returns 87'-98'. That's less than 7k a year. Probably available and being taken by every other farmer, so Perry would have been stupid not to take them. Doesn't make him a hypocrite for wanting to get rid of them.

And it says nothing about Perry needing the subsidies to "stay in business" as Clitz claimed. Perry made his fortune on real estate, not farming..

I'm sure some people do. Relatives on my wife's side of the family actually do and have said so. They like it apparently.
