Uncle Sam is Rich Enough to Give Us All A Damn Farm

With people talking so much about 'traditional American values' and associated what-not it's fun to remember this old-fashioned value: Free Land!! I wonder if any of the current crop of govt.-haters can trace the origins of their family fortunes to a 160-acre homestead acquired virtually for free from said govt. in the 1800s. That's one heck of a way to pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Additional acreage could be taken for timber claims. Successful homesteaders quickly added vast land holdings to their original parcels. Yee-haw!
