It's just sick. Especially the part about 120% debt relief for your farm if you arent "white." Or am I eligible because my Irish ancestors struggled or because my German ancestors were also dirt poor? Well my English ancestors were bankers, so why not just boost my income tax rate to 60% and lower the income tax for minorities to 1.6%. I mean... if we are gonna be fair then let's be fair why stop at giving money away for free just to minorities... let's ONLY TAX white people whose ancestors were bankers.

No worries everyone... I can single handedly fund the federal government since I am so privledged. Send that 2 trillion dollar tax bill to me. I've got you covered.

Equity vs equality. Look it up. This will be the approach during Biden’s term in office. Equity: A redistribution of goods, services, and wealth to others. The problem is there is a never ending re-distribution list. Will this aspire these farmers to do better? No. Only to have your successes be re-distributed because they are successful.

Bidens agenda is racist and boils my blood. People need to be treated with equality rather than by skin color. Money being thrown at you and constantly being told how disadvantaged you are. Think about it. This is what the government thinks of you and your “limited capabilities” because of your ethnicity. This is more divisive than 50 Donald Trumps.

It’s your confidence that celebrates you, not thinking you are a minority. The COVID relief money being distributed to the minority farmers will NOT give them confidence they can do anything on their own without the government’s help. This only emphasizes to them they are a minority and aren’t capable of doing anything on their own, even farm successfully. But, these groups know that Biden is only doing this for political gain, nothing more. The US government should never place one race over another. This is not defensible.

I’ve said it before and one of my favorite quotes: “There is nothing more injurious to a people than conveying the notion that they don’t have control over their destiny, that somehow white America determines your future...” Bob Woodson

It’s ironic. My wife and her family originated from a communist country. It was Communist (Czechoslovakia). Believe me, I hear the stories. The heart felt quivering in their voices when they tell these stories. Sure, they escaped, winding their way through Europe to Germany, and hopped on a plane to the US. Became US citizens and learned English. They struggled and are proud they never used government assistance. My father in law never wanted to have his lack of education, lack of English, lack of skills, be used as an excuse for failure. He had confidence in himself and made him successful. It had nothing to do with his skin color.

It's fine for me. If deck is stacked against me I will simply try twice as hard.
Yeah this is way beyond feel-good liberal fluff this is serious straight up racism-against-whites nonsense that should be taken straight to court. Plus I cant believe the way they are throwing money at everything. That's nothing new, but at this point they're basically acting like hardcore drug users.
Under Trump it felt like the finsncial bleeding was not life threatening... I am much less certain now because I dont see how Biden can make any real improvements to the economy. Economists dont like mixing agendas in, because the more agendas there are, the less efficient the economy becomes...

Oh well.

If equity based policies are so great for America let’s take it one step further. Would this be fair in the giant vegetable growing community? Giving a “handicap” based on a race or socio-economic basis. Redistribution of weight based on these criteria. If you support this for the government wouldn’t it be a great idea here? That would head south in a hurry. Divide growers. How would YOU really feel when you weighed the world record AG because 800 lbs was added, because you did come from a broken home and never stood a chance. How else will you win? Oh, never mind you studied hard in school, military, earn a decent wage and can afford that tractor, 50 yards of black gold soil, greenhouse, ect.

Think of koi or carp in a pond. The owner comes out every day and tosses pellets out to feed. The fish depend on this. In turn, the owner eats them, sells them, whatever. The fish don’t know any different. They love the guy who tosses pellets! Our new commander and chief operates the same way.

The point is equity based policies in this country are divisive and counter productive. It’s the governments attempts to dumb down a population so they can be guaranteed votes next time. It really doesn’t help people. Many many more equity based policies and legislation to come. Digest the info. Is this rebuilding America?

Ha ha. I win?

Sorry Marv, looks like you lose... Hitler and Osama bin Laden are less inflammatory than the white English heritage of the thirteen colonies. Nice try though.
