hmmm, interesting, seeming they produce much more tax revenue, ya figure they work more?
"Earn more" as in cash value that is taxable, no doubt about it.
People in the country are used to having to fend and provide for themselves.
Like a farm subsidy?
..and without farmers/ranchers what would the 8 million New Yorkers eat, after they finished off all the subway rats that is? Don't get me wrong, I see farm subsidies much like I see all other forms of welfare, and the majority of the farm subsidies went to corporate farms not family farms. ted Turner got millions in farm subsidies and Bush should have used his veto on that disasterous bill. Bring back the free market baby!
A gross oversimplification? Of course. But still true to a significant extent.
lol, more like BS, nice try tho
Certainly true if you look at it over multiple generations. Farming and ranching is becoming bug-business and corporate. 100 years ago that was not the case at all, and many of us who don't think that calling someone a "cowboy" is an insult still have that make-up in our blood. All I ask for it to keep what is mine, I don't want any of yours.
