I believe in free eterprise I just get so sick of people complaining that the goverment is paying someone to stay alive (because there's no jobs)and they get so money hungry go autiomatic to get rid of more workers,complain like shut when they have to pay tax so someone else can sit on welfare or unemployment.In case you never noticed population has increased dramaticly and the amont of jobs available per person is way down.Like I said before 1 person is making enough for 25 all in the name of progress and as you like to call it (free enterprise).If you want to make that much then pay the tax shut your mouth and don't complain about the jobless people.It's afully hard to get people to want to work when they can't even aford a nice vehicle on the wages BTO'S want to pay them..At one time there was a shortage in available employees now there is a shotage of jobs avalible,unless your an elegal imagrant that works under the table.So if the goverment doesn't take a little from the rich and give to the poor alot of us would just plain starve to death.I've been on both sides of the fence.I have had to realy on charity just to feed my family(it wasn't because I didn't want to work)and it don't fell good either.I had an accident and couldn't find work I could do at the time,had no insurance because as a Mcdonalds workers wage I couldn't aford it.ALL farm labourers in this area at the time(20 some years ago) couldn't get more than $6.50 an hour(less than what minimum wage was)as farmers were exempt from that law.My one boss said there were enough Mennonites and mexican mennonits around that they didn't have to pay more(as they lived 4 familys per house hold and all the kids had to work to give to the parents they could survive on less income).I now work for myself farm on 160 acres and do a little trucking,I scrape buy but without family allowance I would throw in the towel.There just ain't enough work to go around anymore.10 years ago you could work for any of the 50-100 farmers around here.Now there's only 25-50 farms left and they have less workers.So you tell me where are the other 50-100 workers sopose to go, to make a living.Where ever you go it's the same thing all across the country.I know once I have it payed for and buy 160 acres more I won't get the family allowence and will make it just fine with out it.
Oh, there is a reason why mostly kids work at McDonalds.Easy to make money when some one else pays your bills. And a big mack ain't worth anything as I don't eat out.food at home out of the garden and farmers burger(eaven if it's there oldest cow they sell me REAL cheap)tastes much better.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
