Feds Attack Family Farms. . . Again

The Feds plan to regulate children on the family farm

by Craig Masters

Was 1989 the Mother of All Changes, as the Moscow News wrote? Maybe not?

That headline was the subject line of an email from Scott Baker (Glen Beck). But the story follows closely the last years of the Soviet Union and compares to today in America.

The Department of Labor Secretary, Hilda Solis, proposed sweeping regulations to impose the federal government into the business of micro-managing America's family farms. When the first effort to impose pro-union labor laws on family-owned farms was turned back earlier in 2011, Solis solicited public comments with a deadline set as December 1, 2011. The public responded with more than 18,000 comments in opposition to the new regulations which would force many family farms out of business.

They keep attacking family farms because Big Ag wants them gone and they pad the pockets of many polititions and their campaigns. Look at factory farming and Monsanto.

This is just the stuff not only Big Ag does but big business in general. They dream up regulations/fees to run out the little guys (way to skirt anti trust laws) who can't afford it and are run out of business. Then the big company after they run out the competition they move overseas.

They want to feed us nothing but pink slime, fortified, processed, genetically engineered, chemical infused muck.
Who knows why.
