If you don't want to be called a clown, don't wear a rainbow wig, a big red nose, long squeaky shoes, and facepaint.

Here we go: it's always necessary to belittle and dehumanize these rich cranberry farmers since it makes it easy to rationalize why they should pay more taxes and not you.

The difference is this cranberry farmer did his own work, made his own opportunity for success. Nothing says boot licker more than someone who has to punch the time clock at a business that was someone else's opportunity.

The rich are the rich, regardless of your personal perception of their industry.

Having worked as a farmhand, I can confidently say any "farmer" who is making over a million per year is not a farmer themself.
