Guys, isn't it recognized that ignorance ( "ignorance" meaning, in this case, not knowing about it)  of the law is no excuse for breaking it?

Why is it unreasonable to expect that a farmer entering into a contract would hire his own lawer to study that contract and assure that it is fair and within the capabilities of his client, the farmer?

Econ, there you go again! Accusing me of having a "throne" (apparently denoting obscene wealth, as you use the word). This, in my opinion, is another example of you "calling names" while you claim innocence.

There is possibly a victim mentality at work in these situations. It seems apparent that liberals in government manage to create "victims" they need to "help" (entitlement programs that do little or nothing to train or educate people to move up and out of the "system" and live by their own efforts. Why do chicken growers have this mindset? Why do they not get out of such a system? Why are there some growers who are successful and not complaining? Your scenarios for improvement seem to me to "need" you or your "party" or "organization" or "whatever" to save these people from their "oppressors". What I wonder is why can't they do that themselves. Needing someone to "save" us from our business or lifestyle decisions through political action does not seem like the "American way".
