STOP TAX SHELTERING PROFITS FOR THE RICH

Not only are agricultural tax breaks allowing wealthy landowners to shift their tax burden onto other less-affluent taxpayers but they are also helping bankrupt public schools, which derive the bulk of their funding from local property taxes. Agricultural tax breaks got their start in the ’50s and ’60s, as a response to the explosive growth of suburban development, which was encroaching on farmland and raising agricultural property values to the point where farmers were having paying their tax bills. Fearing that this would pressure farmers into selling out to developers, states began granting exemptions that allowed agricultural land to be assessed at rates well below market value. The practice, called use-value assessment, is today used by all but one of the fifty states to artificially deflate the value of farmland, frequently by 90 percent or more. The plan looked good on paper, but in the real world it was quickly manipulated to steer money to the rich.

Big Cargill corn plant feeds green economy By Christine Stebbins

But this refinery is tied more to corn oil than crude oil. It also presents visitors with an intriguing glimpse into what boosters like President Barack Obama call “the green economy,” an industrial base centered on renewable resources like crops and on products like ethanol and biofuels. With U.S. farmers now enjoying the best corn prices in two years amid worries about world crop failures, the plant is also a prime example of how demand for crops to replace petroleum-based products is not just enticing Wall Street but benefiting hard-hit rural ec
