#3Forget China. The greatest threat to American freedom and global power is robber baron billionaires. We live in a full-on kleptocracy. It's about time we add some new amendments to the constitution to relevel the balance of powers.

#5Right. Most of it is owned by the llc the farmer set up for thier land, and/or the family trust set up to prevent the land from being split into ever smaller parcels by inheritance.

#8If you look at history, this is an ancient pattern.
In Judaeo-Christian scriptures, the prohibitions against anyone acquiring ownership of land go all the way back to the Torah.
Though like pretty much every religious prohibition on behaviors which the well-to-do want to do - those commandments fall under the "we never talk about that part" rule.
EDIT:
- Please note my "against anyone ACQUIRING ownership of" phrasing, above.
- Details are in Leviticus, Chapter 25
