I don’t hate farmers one bit.

Why do farmers feel an even playing field is hateful?

So what is it that bothers you so much about farmers skippy.

Nothing about the farmers bugs me there pipsqueak. The tax incentives available to them that don’t apply to any other industry bug me a little.

I think farmers are great!!

I voted to eliminate property tax. That would have leveled the field. Why does even mean raising someone else’s tax burden instead of lowering the other.

Ya. There’s no farmer hate on this place. I’m so sorry. I must have been imagining things for the last ten years.

 

[Jiffy]

I forgive you.

Can always count on Nodak for some good farmer hate.

It is not " farmer hate " it is the preferential treatment they get over other businesses. when one person gets preferential treatment their gain has to be picked up at the loss of others

Not all farmers are in the same group as welfare queens, many farmers are good honest working members of their communities. The top 1 percent are the ones who, again like any other group are the ones who give all the other farmers a bad name. I know this personally being that im related to relatives who have a bad reputation back home and since im related to them im in the same category. I dont judge farmers harshly as much as I did 10 years ago because like it or not they still provide a valuable resource to our country. What I have learned about other groups of people, like politicians who have been wasting our tax dollars by getting kick back for doing absolutely nothing is where my focus is.

property tax is about being equitable,, when farmers pay nothing, we all pay more. Again, iam not against farmers,, iam against occupational exemptions.. I would be saying the same thing if it was teachers getting exemptions on their houses or blue collar commercial buildings not paying taxes.

This why take a shit on someone else to make your shit less shitty… a novel idea instead of taxing the piss out of farmers to make it equitable why don’t we stop taxing the shit out of everyone else to a breaking point and bring taxes down for the rest of us to make it equitable and stop the wreckless spending, corruption and expansion of government?

So why didn’t everyone vote to eliminate property tax. That would have made it even.

My guess is most farmers didn’t vote on it. Thats a GUESS!! It doesn’t affect them so they don’t care. That’s the way I vote. If I don’t care either way, it has no bearing on me personally or I don’t like either candidate ect ect. I don’t vote on it.

I’ve been on the soil conservation board. I served on the school board. I’ve seen stupid govt spending first hand. Instead of being pissed at each other for not paying enough taxes, maybe we should be upset with the politicians who spend too much of our money.

 

[Jiffy]

Who’s pissed?

It's absolutely a spending problem but if we are going to have taxes it should be the same for everyone. Just because you farm doesn't mean you shouldn't be paying the same taxes on your home as everyone else. Why should a farmers home and buildings be exempt?

 

[Bacon]

Farmers should know more than anyone that you reap what you sow. You’re welcome!!

I guess this post was all about love.

 

[Jiffy]

Is it true?

No idea. I didn’t write the tax law. Maybe you have to take that up with the legislature.

Is what true. I don’t know what I sowed to know what I should reap. Some farmer must have done you wrong. It wasn’t me.
