"Nobody to pick them"... Florida farmers plow their tomatoes under.

75. I disagree

I grew up in farming country. It's not just the farmers, it's their bankers, the equipment dealers/repair shops, truckers, rail agents, and farm hands and all the others in our community whose lives depend on farming. As a Dem in farming country, I was very much a minority.

As a business owner who started 4 different high tech companies over the years, I prefer a Democratic party run government. Why? Stability, lower taxes for employees, better schools, better healthcare and an appreciation for the fine arts. I have also held high level positions at some of the largest high tech firms in the world, and while they all spend on both sides, most of those making strategic decisions think like I do.

About the hate- it's very real. If you don't see it, you have a perception problem. I woman in my family is married to the rail agent. I've watched her go in to the local Walmart and watched her blood pressure rise. Eventually she has to shout it out loud "you're in America, speak English you @#$&". Everyone in her neighborhood feels the same way, they simply hate Hispanics. The farmers lead that parade, because they want to go back to the days when they provided shacks with no running water or power for their workers.
