This is certainly true in ag, wherein we have proscribed that the goods will be affordable to all (this, itself, based upon how little the "all" has in the first place). Therein sealing the fate of those who produce them, despite the fact that we cannot persist without them...even as machines and chemicals become better suited to those tasks which we once assigned to manual labor, regardless of whether or not this is a prudent "long term" approach. The people that grow your food are -intentionally- impoverished, for the betterment of all, and we may as well get used to subsidizing their lives, unless we want people to starve...those producers included.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
