They also have more debt. The vast majority of farmers today have purchased the vast majority of their acres, for incredibly large sums of money. I can remember at 19 years old, friends of mine buying sections of land for upwards of $1,000,000. I work in agriculture and have farmers in my office every day, and it is in no way out of the ordinary to be witness to +$5,000,000 land purchases. Who is "giving" that land to them?

Own a business? Thank an Indian.
Own a house? Thank an Indian.
Have a driveway? Thank an Indian.
Live in Calgary? Thank an Indian.

After all, these things are all on their land. You may not have as much of it as a farmer, but that is irrelevant, as you didn't pay as much for it either.

If you stole the land out from under an Indian... thank them.
If you purchased the land, be it a farm, a business lot, an acreage, or a home lot, you don't need to thank anyone.

Out of thanks. Well said
