Estate taxes hurt farmers, because farms mostly stay in a family. Farms don't make much money, but the land is worth a lot. So when a farm is given to a descendent the land might be worth hundred of thousands of dollars (maybe even millions), but because farmers don't make very much at all they can't afford to keep it. I don't really oppose all estate tax in the most part, but when it comes to farmers (who don't make much) have to pay TONS for property that's already paid off by there family is pretty ridiculous.

The 2015 Obama "Clean water act" update hurt farmers because it made streams federal property and made it hard to use the streams on their property to irrigate their crops and supply water to their cattle. Sure, that would help people in big cities by claiming all streams as federal property, but it doesn't help farmers at all.


You can't govern all of America the same, because we have different problems. One solution in one area could cause a big problem in another. That's why each state needs a voice. That's why each state votes for who they want to elect. That's why popular vote isn't the best option in our massive country. It might work in other smaller countries (like European countries that are the size of a state, and all of Europe is just barely bigger than the USA), but this is a big country with a lot of different problems.

How? I don't see how that would help ANYONE lol, but it will help the environment remain cleaner and less-touched; yes, it may put out said farmers, but perhaps they can show cause as to why they are using said stream and apply for a permit/injunction/whatever to get the use of it back?
