[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1662218, member: 24816"] I fully agree with your last statement. It is truly sad that wealth or being bought off by special interests is the path to politics. I think the former president campaigned on a populist message that evolved into largely party base platforms and topics. I doubt that he thought he had much in common with many of his voters. I had hoped that things would be different with him, in that he was a political outsider. He surrounded himself with yes men and it appeared more be more about his image than policy for the common man. I remember the cattle farmers attempt to use social media to get his attention so that he might look into the plight of them. So far as I know nothing changed. His secretary of agriculture seemed more interested in singing his praises, and saying the same old status quo statements regarding the industry. The conglomerate corporations of the packing industry can buy the influence, representation and legislation that they need to profit off the backs of the farmers and ranchers, as well as consumers and squeeze out competition. It frustrates me because part of one party wants to end or cripple my livelihood and the other just takes it for granted. [/QUOTE]
