Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gates Questioned About Purchase Of Thousands Of Acres Of Farmland!

I thought we were basically a conservative group, with what that entails.

Hard work or smart ideas equals big profits.
Freedom of speech and expression, no mattet how unpopular
And private properyy rights. Buy what you want. Do what you want with what you buy.

Class envy is an ugly thing. Unfortunately it is very real, even among so-called conservatives.

I'm the first to wish city folk would stay where they belong.


Find it real hard to come up with a reason they should have to
justify buying rural land though.

SCOTUS just handed down a ruling concerning citizens needing to
get approval of government to exercise their rights.

“In North Dakota, under N.D.C.C. ch. 10-06.1, all corporations or limited liability companies (LLC) are prohibited from owning or leasing farmland or ranchland, and from engaging in farming or ranching,” Wrigley wrote. “In addition, the law places certain limitations on the ability of trusts to own farmland or ranchland.”

Why am I not surprised you'd twist things in support of Gates and his oligarchical ilk? Do you really think his sort supports free and open markets? His purpose is to create a permanent peasantry to be treated as the subordinate property of a permanent nobility. He didn't rise to the multibillionaire status because he was so good at what he did. An oligarchical system raised him to that status, a system that's not possible, and a status that's not possible, under a truly free market. The last thing this sort wants are free markets where people are rewarded based on their talents, determination, and effort.

So, you are in favor of .gov telling a citizen what he may purchase or own, and what he is allowed to do with it once he owns it?

Or is it just certain citizens you wish to have controlled in this manner?

Who shall make this list of controlled citizens? You?

Joining the Distinguished Speakers Series at the University of Oxford Saïd Business School, Bloomberg was responding to a question about whether it is possible to unite people in middle America and the coasts. One of the issues standing in the way of that, Bloomberg said, was the inability of blue-collar workers to adapt to the information economy even if they have their education subsidized.

"The agrarian society lasted 3,000 years and we could teach processes. I could teach anybody, even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer," Bloomberg said. "It's a process. You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn. You could learn that. Then we had 300 years of the industrial society. You put the piece of metal on the lathe, you turn the crank in the direction of the arrow and you can have a job. And we created a lot of jobs. At one point, 98 percent of the world worked in agriculture, now it's 2 percent in the United States."
