Fortune. It has been said that, because the American people believe in a pluralist society, anyone can become president o( the United States. True... just about anybody can become president. Ronald Reagan did. His idea of economics is about as sim- ple as a kindergarten lesson. He believes in the trickle system: Give the moneyman at the top the breathing room to makemore money and eventually, enough of that wealth at the top will trickle down to the peasants at the bottom. The idea is as stupid as win- ning one for The Gipper. Wealth for the common people is not created at the top. It is created at the bot- tom. It is created by farmers, by miners, by lumberman, by people on production lines. Was it E.P. Taylor who said he never really needed to buy any company outright? All he needed was controlling in- terest and sometime that could be as little as 10 or 12 percent. He did not make wealth for others. No fancy - dressed businessman on Wall Street or Bay Street creates money. He simply uses other people's money and produc- tivity to make more money for himself. Real money is created at the bottom of Reagan's pyramid. The problem is that there are too many 'people at - the bottom. The pyramid is so wide that not much is left to be spread around. At the top, there are fewer people. Those few at • the top get richer and the poor get poorer. Let us carry the analogy a little farther. The farmer takes the silent land, the sunlight and the minerals in the soil. He grows beef or pork or chickens or turkeys or. cash crops which he sells. He creates a commodity which other people need. While so doing, he uses many different kinds of machinery. He uses chemical fertilizers for weeds, for bugs and other pests. He uses energy. Ile needs labor. He needs trucks. His products have to be shipped and processed and packaged. Those products e ifl the mowsofa N4 ea ..coWa er rob f,p1 N, lids* • I ,,-. O.,i ,,m c, must be displayed and sold in thousands of stores across Canada. The agricultural industry; it has been said, creates 43 of every 100 jobs in the country. The farmer needs chemical industries, trucking firms, packaging plants, processing plants, retailers, 'wholesales, lawyers, repair shops, farm machinery industries, book- keepers, you -name -it. In other words, the farmer creates all kinds of jobs for millions of people. Farmers- -and miners and lumbermen- -create the jobs which recycle the money that was created by the farmer in the first place. Unfortunately, over the years, the farmer has been virtually ignored by all those moneymen at the top who still think they create the wealth. The experts have been say- ing for many years that Cana- dians should no longer be hewers of wood and drawers of water. The economists with their fancy talk have become obsessed with expansion and gross national product to the point where they cannot see the forest for the trees. They cannot see beyond the end of their educated nostrils. Those nostrils quiver and drip at the smell of manure. The importance of agriculture has been negated by the eggheads. They de- mand cheap food from the farmers. If you don't believe food in Canada is cheap, then you have .not been reading this deathless prose for very long. Statistics prove that Canadians pay less for food than any other country in the world with the possible excep- tion of the. United States. All those jobs along the food line are generated by less than five percent of the population. It is getting to the point that farmers are work- ing themselves into bankrupt- cy just to keep the big cooperatons in business. It's time to re -assess the whole picture. Give farmers enough to make a decent living, allow them to expand their ranks, and maybe there will be enough left over to keep Bay Street busy.
