To be a successful farmer, one is constantly investing in the business. (ie land, equipment, etc) This means there is usually very little disposable cash. <br /><br />Imagine how wealthy you would be if you had lived frugally your whole life and invested 50% of your income into your 401K.

The simple math would be 1500 acres x $6,000/acre = $9,000,000... Then add in homes, expensive equipment, expensive buildings, other investments, etc...<br /><br />Quite a bit different than<br /><br />"America isn't saddled with a worthless caste of landed aristocrats."<br /><br />"clawed their way to the top through cheating, bribery, treating their employees like slaves, driving all their competitors out of business, etc"<br /><br />"I guess that if you are motivated to not work hard because you won't get to keep your money when you are dead, then you have some other issues you need to work through."<br /><br />I am just fascinated how so many Liberals became so angry at people who worked, saved and invested.
