        But now Asian has the highest average income by race. So It's not race but culture & choice.

        10m illegal don't hurt the economy? They lower the salary. People on food stamps won't take a farmer job with $50000 salary and benefits?

        Farmers will automate before letting $7.25/hour job mushroom to $50k.

        I remember when relying on LDP payments was a 'lifestyle' for some(all) grain farmers.

        The government still heavily subsidizes agriculture

        Yes, I know this. Farmers easily rationalize current support. LDP was what prevented farmers from going broke in the late 90s.

        Apparently your not a hard working tax payer, lots of them keep having kids so they can stay on welfare. Not fair to all of us.

        I am 85 years old and receive $15 per month. That’s enough for 3 pounds of hamburger meat. Oh and I live on Social Security.

        Just to be clear: the poor have too much and the rich have too little. Is that the argument here?

        This argument would have been effective a generation ago when a factory job earned a middle class income. No longer. Economy changed

        I come from a manufacturing town in middle America. They all make middle class income. What is your definition of middle class income?

        I'm glad your town is doing well. I'm glad the problem has not entered your field of vision. But that doesn't change my point
