If a farmer can not afford to pay the taxes on a farm he gets FOR FREE then he does not deserve to own a farm.  Also all gain of value (capital gains) is TAX FREE when a farmer inherits a $10 million dollar farm his daddy bought for $200K.  

It cracks me up when farmers start crying about having to pay inheritance taxes in order to get millions of dollars of property FOR FREE.


People who have to work to get millions of dollars have to pay taxes on that income.  Why shouldn't people who get millions of dollars of property for free also have to pay taxes on it.



The clean water act did nothing for people who live in cities.  What it did was help make sure the farmers who needed the water from these streams were not poisoning there crops or live stock with pollution.



Exactly.  And that is why we have a federal government to do what is best for THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.  Each state is free to elect whoever thy want for their own state.  BUt when it comes to electing a President who is responsible for the entire nation the votes of people in less populated states should not count more than the people from more populated states..   

There are lots of decisions that effect different parts of the country different ways, but when deciding what is bets for the entire country the vote of each individual should count the same.

Yes, fracking is literally causing earthquakes. That's what fracking is. Most of the earthquakes are 1 or less on their scale.

Lol I guess most farmers shouldn't have a farm. That's pretty ridiculous. I would agree if farmers actually made some money, but I guess it's great to kill the people that feed the country. That makes you seem pretty insane honestly.

But the people in cities decided to approve the clean water act when the farmers hated it. They took the streams that was on their land and claimed it as federal land. That's straight up BS.

The votes and the voices of states are all that matters for a federal republic president. Every state has electoral college votes depending on the population. The thing is because we live in a federal republic California's votes don't bleed into other states. Every state picks who they want and whoever gets the most points wins. If that wasn't the case the country would be ruled by the coasts and the heartland would have very little say. It's fair how we have it now because every state has a voice in our federal republic and every state could he the determining factor in the election of a president. So the President actually has to worry about the heartland too, so they can get their votes.
