I have picked fruit. I picked prunes in California. .22 a lug. Big boxes. Man, those were slave wages. We got up early and got on a bus which took us to the orchards and worked until sunset. They charged us for the bus ride to.

The farm worker really needs a union. What Ceaser Chavez fought for his whole life. People who work so hard need to make a decent living.

I do not like the stratification of society to that degree. I think we should have a horizontal society, not a vertical society, with each person having a role rather than a vertical society with levels of status. And people who work hard should be able to make decent wages.

The content of their character, not the level of status.
