Denied by whom? In a free country individuals who are productive are free to gain what they need by earning them. Also in a free country wealth is created not taken by some from others.
I have friends who are farmers in Iowa.
Farm land is going for $10k an acre.
If your not farming 1000 acres, your about wasting your time.
A new combine will cost over $250k.
At least 2 tractors will cost another $250k.
Add other field equipment, grain bins and misc. and you have another $250-$500k.
Come April it becomes a dash to get into the fields after the snow melts and the ground thaws and dries.
Come the beginning of summer, you're thinking about getting irrigation going.
July and August, your looking at harvesting oats and wheat and baling straw.
Come October, your harvesting field corn and soy beans.
Go into farm country in October and see the lights in the field at 11 pm to midnight. The same guys are up at 6 am to get it again.
Crops too wet?
Fire up the grain dryer.
Talk about a utility bill ....
What's not mentioned is a late frost, or summer storm that wipes out a crop.

Now, let's talk about doctors and healthcare.
BEFORE a doctor ever starts college, he needs to kick a$$ in high school, just to be accepted into a GOOD college.
From there the hopeful doctor needs to kick a$$ in college, just to get accepted into med school.
4 years of college.
4 years of med school.
2 more years to specialize.
Then there is internship/residency.
My ortho spent 12 years before being able to get into private practice.
I haven't even mentioned COST.
$40-$50k a year now for a good college/med school.
WHILE the future doctor is busy GOING to school, THEY AREN'T working, or
EARNING a living or
LIVING a lifestyle.
Unlike the slackers who complain about them.
My dentist told me, it costs her $14k a month BEFORE the first patient ever walks through the door.
Whether a dentist or a doctor,
There is ALWAYS reading and workshops to go to, to keep up on the latest advances and techniques.
My ortho schedules surgeries one day a week.
He gets in between 4 and 5 am
And works 12-16 hours.
The following day, he's not in the office.
He's usually visiting patients in the hospital.
Office hours are usually 2 & 1/2 days a week.
The OTHER 2 & 1/2 are for surgery and follow ups.
Last thing a doctor wants to say is "oops".
For MOST people, what does an oops at work actually mean???
