Lets see if DIXON and SHEMP can deal with one single issue and stick to that issue.
Mexican farmers and US farm subsidies. US (and European) goverment subsidises its farmers such that bankruptcy is avoided by their farmers. Without these subsidies the US farmers would have a hard time to compete with other countries. The US makes a vast fortune in arms sales around the world and other dubious business. These subsidies mean that a Mexican farmer cannot compete so he cannot afford to hire farm hands, so the workers go to the US (illegally) to work and gain from the US subsidies. The Mexican farmer cannot compete. The US farmer gets cheap, illegal labor, and the right-wingers in this country try to build a joke fence to stop them coming in. The US continues to make money from oil companies, selling arms, and racking up a massive debt which stands today at: $8,553,293,703,6000.05 http://brillig.com/debt_clock/ Thus, through these dubious methods of funding its farmers, the US contributes directly to keeping the poor, poor, and the Mexican economy subserviant to US control at a low economic level. One instance where the US makes others stay poor (very bad karma for US), and I am looking forward to watch MDIXON and Shemp's usual avoidance of the issues, changing the subject, slinging names around, and cutting and running. It is like watching Laurel and Hardy build a house. OffWorld To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
