Some of that is right, but believe it or not farmers also need local services like health care workers, tradespeople, some semblance of government, etc.

- michaelmrose 4y agoAll of what I said is right and all of what you said is right. The grandparent comment stated that. > As a rural tax payer I'm paying for some city dwellers to sit around all day doing nothing. All the benefits you enjoy as a result of living in a modern society have been paid for by someone other than you. No part of that is right. Economically rural areas are a drain justified only by farming, votes, and a charitable desire to serve our fellow man. The idea that a handful of farmers are somehow paying for the teeming masses in the city to sit on their hands is wrong on its face.
