I would truly love to know what some people consider "rich." Do you have any clue what farmer's make for money? If they are so "rich" why do so many lose their farms? Have you priced the cost of harvesting equipment, fertilizers, FUEL to run said equipment and apply the fertilizers? How about the cost to get the crops to their various places to be processed into feed and food stock? Have you compared these costs to the final price they get for their crops?
I'm sure you're aware of the major flooding in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. I'm sure those farmers whose crops have been washed away by the Mississippi river are gonna go back and roll in their dough.
I am sick of this moronic class warefare garbage that has been flooded to the masses by our "unbiased" media.
