I used to agree with that, but then realized it's the last thing between us
and a huge corprate farm monopoly growing a continent full of monogenetic
crops. Small farms lose money due to deflation in commodities. But it's a
losing battle, the family farm and genetic crop diversity are doomed. Better
the quick kill.

And the only fair thing is a flat tax, no deductions. Of course then you end
up with cheating on the scale Europe apparently has, so either way people
can get around it.
