Beto O'Rourke wants farmers to hand over their 'fair share' of crops to stop AGW (T)

Campaigning for president in Iowa, Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke thinks farmers need to do their "fair share" to combat global warming, handing over some of their crops to save the Earth.

Kid you not. According to Breitbart News:

Democrat 2020 presidential candidate Robert "Beto" O'Rourke proposed Friday in Iowa that the U.S. "allow" farmers to give up their "fair share" of crops to fight climate change.

O'Rourke stood aloft as he proclaimed his message at a rally in Marshalltown, Iowa Friday:

If we allow farmers to earn a profit in what they grow, if we allow them to contribute their fair share in combatting Climate Change by growing cover crops, allowing the technologies that invest in precision tilling and farming, capturing more of that carbon out of the air is another way in which they can make a profit. Keep those farms together, pass them on to the next generation, and allow them to provide us our food and national security, our independence from the rest of the world, our ability to provide for the rest of the world.

Not buying that poll. The illegals would never admit to a pollster that they’re not native Texans. And since illegals vote nearly 100% Dem that would quickly throw the poll way off.

Robert Francis O’Rourke, I believe that is called Socialism, so I’ll say this for the farmers of America: ‘F**k you, you Irishphobia jackass! We will keep our land barren, you Socialist jerk.’

Betoff O’Rourke is into his first “Four Year Plan”, i.e. to be President Commissar of the US. Five Year plans can come later.

His campaign slogan re farming is “Let Them Eat Grass, or Just Smoke It”.

Beto clearly states that farmers can have only a certain amount of profits IF HIS GOVERNMENT ALLOWS it!

sounds like communism to me ... exactly like communism as a matter of fact!

Maybe, but it still shows the legal transplants to the state voted overwhelmingly for a candidate who ran a weak campaign (Cruz) against a lot of out-of-state money (Beto). Probably at a more favorable rate than legal native Texans.

Beto and his wife are quite well off, how about they give most of it away to make it fair for those with less.

Socialists always want others to give up what they have, other people’s money. Imagine that.

Citizen, you do not understand what must be done for the greater good. Once the Kulaks have been subdued we shall move on to the intellectuals. You sound like an intellectual.

“allow”...

This, from a Public SERVANT...

Yeah, they’re ALL Stalinists and mini-Hitlers over on that side of the aisle. Some are just better at covering it than others.
