I wonder what would happen if I, a retail employee, complained the store I worked for marked prices way up and kept most of the money for themselves while paying me too little.

uh - the packinghouses don't employ farmers, they buy product from farmers. the idea that they owe the packinghouses any sort of fealty or deference even after the big four have colluded and fixed prices is pretty fucked

See? This is what happens.

Anyone lower down on the food chain who bitches about the ones higher up eating most of the meal and leaving the scraps for the people who actually prepared the meal has to be put in their place one way or another.

This guy would also like to see YOU work for free, and in many cases, not merely work for free, but pay him a special tax for LIBERTAH.

I mean, maybe? But he seems pretty reasonable, and assuming he's conservative, maybe might be open to "hey it's almost like oligarchy is bad! I wonder what are some contemporary examples of people in similar situations to you?"

Farmers used to be a pretty socialist group, because they had solid economic reasons to be, and I think a robust left ag policy might get some of them on board again if you could break through all the culture war bullshit.

The Trusts of old got broken up years ago for a reason. Too bad they spent all that time congealing back together like the T-1000. :P
