46. Gasp!! Can such a thing be allowed to happen?
What of our very own corporate holders of land right here in the 'good old USA'.

I mean, they have managed the land wisely, like standing in-line as other corporal entities to receive the abundance the land produces, ie tax breaks and cash from the government to not use the land.

Even moving the actual production of food to other countries to preserve our land and let it sit idle, and to get the subsidy our generous government provides plus the bonus of very inexpensive labor available in other countries (hey, they expect less, Less IS More).

Sure, this has produced a tremendous increase in the price of goods in the grocery store. But to us, we spend a very small percentage of our money on food, thus it doesn't harm us, the real Americans.

Somebody should stop this plan to take the wealth of the land from those much more deserving to those by the nature of their poverty have proved themselves unworthy of anything except contempt.

Somebody in power needs to be informed of this tragedy, to do something.
