"Amerika" as in communism?
You are SO wrong.
It's the pursuit of the almighty dollar, CAPITALISM, that has put us in this spot.

Those are all about someone's dream of getting rich. CAPITALISM.
Crying, "Why doesn't the government support these family farms?" That's communism.

Capitalist corporations calling themselves "milk cooperatives" maximizing corporate profits by paying the farmers a pittance for their product, and calling it "market price."

At this stage of the game I almost want to go back, but there is no way. I'd be bankrupt in less than a year, even if Mom & Dad gave me the use of the farm and equipment for free.
