| Message | What is the point in paying farmers who cannot even produce enough to feed themselves? Tell them to go and get a job they are good enough at to earn enough money to buy food from those efficient enough to make money at it! |

| Message | We're giving them the minimum wage. |

| Message | Also, if all the farmers come to the city, then everyone starves. I don't know about you, but I do not wish to starve. You may be rich but I am not. |

| Message | All farming families are low income. How often do I need to point this out?! |

| Message | Why should they be? They produce a crucial need for our country. They should be rewarded. Are you saying that you are in support of keeping hard-working Hurorians in poverty? |
| Date | 20:44:39, March 10, 2006 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Farmer Act |
| Message | They do not produce a curcial need for the country if they eat all they produce and still need subsidy! If they are that inefficient they should sell and allow more efficient farmers to produce food from that land that will feed the nation! |
