In reply to the discussion: The American farming industry is getting hammered [View all]Buddyzbuddy
(1,325 posts)20. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. It is part of the plan.
Guess who is going to buy up all the farms for pennies on the dollar. Billionaires! Plus they get wells and water rights in addition to gov't subsidies to not plant crops. They will incorporate new cities and rezone. It won't take much money to buy the votes in low population areas. Not to mention how easily those voters have been proven to vote against their own best interests, time and time again.
They may be Republicans but I believe our farmers and ranchers have been the keystone to which America was able to build upon. I wish they hadn't been so gullible.
Way to own the Libs.
