Dave from Indianapolis e-mails to give credit to the cultivators of the earth:
"Farm Aid" founders Neil Young, Willie Nelson, and John Mellencamp campaigned against President Bush. They released anti-Bush songs and videos. Two of them performed at Whoopie Fest.
The farmers of America voted like the salt of the earth they are. One can see this by looking at the final map broken down by county. Farmers had to simply be shaking their heads during the campaign season when they saw how several of their "Farm Aid" icons were behaving.
Family farms were direct benefits of the tax cuts. Inheritance taxes have a direct impact on the family farm. The Senate, sitting on the energy plan, cost the family farmers every time they pump diesel, pump gas, or pay to ship their products to market. Farmers are close families and attend church.
I would love to know the thought of the three "Farm Aid" founders. They have to be disappointed.
