I think you'd be surprised of the amount of people out there that want all taxes gone. Anyway, 43.567 percent of stats are made up on the spot. Neither of us truly know, lol

Well if they don't have water then technically they wouldn't be farmers anymore would they??

And if they can't generate enough income to pay their property taxes then eventually they wouldn't be land owners anymore either, would they?

Farmers in California’s Central Valley claim they’re being robbed of precious water by an environmentalist preoccupation with an innocuous minnow called the Delta Smelt;

On its face, the Klamath River dam removal project makes no sense economically or environmentally.



Some of these farmers are WWII veterans and their families who built and paid for the irrigation canals and watering systems and settled the land, they and their heirs were guaranteed water forever.

I wouldn't worry you over this or anything else but IMO any American that isn't concerned is brain dead! :hi:

No offense but have you ever lived in California? Those 'farmers' claim a lot of things and they aren't the poor oppressed people you are making them out to be. They use scare tactics just like your local politician does and people gobble it up because they are scared their food bill will go up.

I lived in the artichoke capitol of the world do you know how many artichokes I could find in the stores that were from California?

millions of gallons of free water and farm subsidies?

"Our farmers deserve praise, not condemnation; and their efficiency should be cause for gratitude, not something for which they are penalized."
~ President John F. Kennedy

Recently it was very crudely pointed out by a special ('environtmental') interest group that farmers were "no more than a bunch of welfare recipients.

This group of educated professionals apparently have either been misinformed, or they are totally uninformed, and perhaps the basic role of farm subsidies should be explained at a beginner's level.
...................................

The subsidy is for the American public - not the farmer. It enables the American public to spend only 11.2% of their income for food in the 1990s. America enjoys the best quality food at the lowest price in the world. Most spending growth for food in recent years is food eaten away from home. (In 1950, 17.7% of income was spent for food.)

(lots of good info in this link)

Price received for a bushel of corn: $1.90
Production cost: $2.78
Price received for a bushel of soybeans: $4.85
Production cost: $6.36 to 7.76
(Prices are per www.agstats.state.il.us/farmfacts. Production figures are obtained from farm business records kept by Illinois Farm Business Farm Management Association at farmdoc : COSTS TO PRODUCE CORN AND SOYBEANS -- 2000.)

Anyone can see from the above figures the American farmer is in trouble.

It's true that you never really own anything in this country. Way too many fat cats living on 6 figure salaries to let you have anything for good. After all who would pay for these guys to sit around and make up more BS laws to screw you?

The real problem with our system as now stands is that the federal reserve has the power to create money which effectively robs us before we even get out of bed in the morning.

Another huge problem originates in the conflict industry with enviromental and animal rights groups causing much of the problems concerning property rights, food nazis and groups claiming to be protecting our civil rights fit right in there along with gun control advocates.
