Guess you forgot about all that land they own

And all the taxes they pay?

Don't you know that many many farmers lease their land?

You are not very aware of how food gets to your table, I take it.

This is true. Most are tenant farmers for the huge corporate farming co-ops. This is why 80% of all subsidies are paid to the co-ops. That welfare is then used to drive smaller farmers out of business or it is used to buyout the small farmer and turn him into an employee.

You guys cry rivers for the small family farmer but fail to recognize that it's your beloved corporate welfare that is driving them out of business.

I guess this explains a lot about your position, lack of economic understanding. Are you not aware that the leasee pays for the landowner's taxes in the price he pays for the lease? Remember, stones - glass houses.

I am with you to "trimmer", selling out our homeland via a back handed deal is very ugly to say the least. Glad your on our side. That short Texan warned us, I at least voted for him. DR-Cafta seems to be sinking inspite of our president and Billy Bob Clinton's lobbying efforts.
