Environmentalists are just anti-capitalists in disguise. I realized this years ago. My family is in vegetable farming. We own 40 acres where we had our packing facility and offices. Bought the land 35 years ago when nothing was here. Now we're surrounded by homes and shopping centers. We built a business, employed 10's of thousands of people over the last 3 decades. Grown billions of pounds of food. Paid millions in federal and payroll taxes. We have to deal with environmentalists in all the counties we farm in. Monitoring our water use, how much fertilizer we use etc. They claim we're damaging the environment by farming. The minute we decided to go for rezoning on the property, they all came out of the woodwork saying we couldn't sell the property and had to keep farming the 40 acres. The sierra club even sent a rep from NYC down here to FL. Local coalitions were formed. Protest were held at county commission meetings. Can you imagine the audacity of people, many who have moved here on in the last 10 years, telling someone whos been here 35, what they can and cannot do with their private property? One guys said my family was "trying to cash a winning lottery ticket" Building a business for 35 years is akin to buying a lottery ticket? These people are power hungry , control freaks who hate capitalism. FUCK THEM
