Actually, that would be option 3. Run along now.

The income from a farm like this could be as low as 100,000 a year and that would have to support several families, perhaps two brothers and their parents. That would be 33,000 per household. Even if you double this example, their "estate tax" would be 2.75 million. Yes these people on paper are millionaires, but their life style and income would not reflect this. Their attitude is, they work the land not own it. They are the stewards of the land till they pass the family farm down to the next generation. They hardly live a luxurious lifestyle. Quote:
It's not a privilege to keep their land, the government is privileged to have collected all the taxes they paid for hundreds of years.

People are not having trouble finding food, they are spending their food money on non necessities IMHO. I support a battered women's shelter as well. Another project of mine is helping folks with their electric bills during Winter. What kind of a Nation are we? I say we are kind and generous to a fault. Americans don't need more help, look at Haiti, those people need help.

This is my point, if you are truly poor, why are you eating out? Food stamps are not redeemable at McDonalds. Spending money on fast food is wasteful when you can prepare a better meal at home cheaper. Another issue is, why are you out and about at McDonalds when you are so poor? People who "cannot afford to feed themselves" are wasting gasoline in a drive thru.
