Shouldn"t we rather piss and moan on Well-fare or Food stamps, open your eyes... Farmers do bust their ass and some might abuse the tax-exempt privlages, but so what, big deal. And who made Austin the IRS, if your proud of where your tax money goes and it makes you a good citizen not to lie on your title when you buy a used car, then do it. I bet you'd change your mind if you were self employed. If I raise 100 cattle next year and do great doing so, and make a nice big profit of $20,000, why should i get taxed on that money unless I buy a new Truck... Can't i save it. Write it off. After its said and done some 40% of our dollar goes to tax. Farmer don't abuse it more than the people in our society that collect food stamps or well fare. What might be a good idea is going to work for a farmer, just think if you do it right, you could make about 1/3 more than you would on paper.
