There was an expose' on the so-called Militia Movement a few years ago. Among the members of one of the most high-profile miltias were men who, while preaching anti-government slogans, were drawing Federal pensions, social security, direct payments from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, subsidies from the Small Business Administration, etc., etc., not to mention driving on Federally-funded highways on their way to their little meetings.
