Morgy, Now we're getting into taxation strategies. Personally, I prefer a national sales tax on goods so that taxes are equally distributed. Taxing a business corporation merely lowers their profit and creates costs that only passed on to the consumer of their products anyway as a higher price. So why not cut the red-tape and just apply the tax directly to sales? And farmers are businesses as well, so they should qualify for this. Or the alternative is a flat tax. The cost savings alone in not having to pay attorneys or tax accountants would likely prove to be a huge stimulous to business and qualify as a "tax cut". As for small farmers, I don't have an easy solution. Like any business they are subject to the vagaries of the marketplace where the more efficient producers prosper while the inefficient perish. But I certainly believe that food, like energy is a national security issue, which requires a certain amount productive independence so we're not dependent upon imports to survive or prosper. Regards, Ron

Bobby, anytime you get into the battle about taxes Corporations (who pay no taxes) vs Gvn (that waist taxes) you should ask yourself a question who provides economically viable employment? If the answer is corporations than you do want them to pay no taxes, so they can employ more people...(taxpayers not welfare recipients I must add) Now Bobby why kill the golden goose? ps.As for misconceptions about tax plans, every time bias changes to the less taxes (Less Gvn) is an achievement in itself (as opposed to the swing to more taxes (more Gvn))
