If the occupation of the world’s poorest people is farming, and the price of food goes up, are not these farmers getting a pay raise? Will they not be encouraged to produce more food and grain? Or do these poor farmers just sit around and eat what others give to them?
No, these farmers do not raise enough grain, and cannot afford to raise enough grain to cash in on this gravy train. That has been seen to. The people who rake off of this are corporate executives at Archer Danials Midland. People who spend as much time living off the lad as Bernie Ebbers or Michael Milken.
