[QUOTE="gimpyrancher, post: 1102282, member: 10164"] The thing most forget is that the only reason one is able to make huge incomes is BECAUSE of the government they complain about paying taxes to. Didn't Farmers just get another 10 billion in Farm Aid while demanding less to the poor? Remember back a few decades ago when they arrested and charged shop owners for excessive prices when disasters hit? the $20 bottle of water? Didn't we also have some type of "excessive profit" laws to stop the business owners from taking advantage of the public in extreme circumstances? While we ferociously support the owner/operators of Corporations like Walmart and Standard Oil. Investors seem to have a "right" to make a profit that others don't seem to share. The rich want "their share" of the handouts that others need just to survive. It's become The Moral Majority thing. Here in Oregon, big ranchers got a rebate on their property taxes because of a water shortage. Keeping in mind the price of tax rate on farm land versus the rate charged on a small piece of land with a home in the city. When did the rest of us get a rebate on property taxes because the job market dried up? The poor hold rallies holding cardboard signs on the sidewalks. The "poor misunderstood" farmers drive a million dollars worth of farm equipment (including 18 wheel trucks and trailers) downtown to protest their need for more farm subsidies. But who's counting?
