Why the deep hypocrisy currently circulating throughout Congress?

Why do people who benefit so greatly, while needing it the least, from government handouts (farm subsidies, tax breaks for big corporations, financial institutions, etc.) support cutting food stamps?

Example: Rep. Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler of Missouri voted to make cuts to the food stamp program. Her farm received more than $800,000 in Department of Agriculture subsidies from 1995-2012. In 2001, her farm received $135,482 in subsidies. Rep. Stephen Fincher rakes in millions in farm subsidies while misquoting the Bible in favor of deep cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
