Subject: RE: BS: Taxation without representation
In June, 2007, the U. S. Dept. Agriculture had 105780 employees
(U. S. Gov't. figures).

In 2009, there were 2.2 million farms and ranches.
This figure from Purdue University, article Feb. 5, 2009.
"Trend broken or at least leveled; number of U. S. farms increases,"
Greg Preston, director of U. S. Dept. Agriculture National Ag Statistics office.

The posting of fallaceous statistics is a shameful perversion of the free speech allowed at this website; its only purpose is to mislead.
