Economic Injustice in Farming versus City Workers
The piece argues farm income fell to just over 19 billion dollars in the prior year, marking a fourth straight decline with per capita figures of 360 dollars for farmers and 1922 dollars for non-farm residents. It asserts systemic economic segregation between farmers and urban workers, noting government policies provide full employment yet deny equal pay or living conditions for farmers. It decries the income gap as indefensible in a democratic system.
