100 years ago there weren't laws preventing you from using humanure to grow your food. And no-till agriculture is more efficient than that nonsense using rototillers and tractors and so on. Of course, it's only nonsense if you're only producing enough food for your own consumption; machines have their place in agriculture. I eagerly await further advances in robotics in agriculture, as that is the technology that makes it possible for economically feasible mechanized food production without destruction of the soil, water, air, et cetera. However, we have masses of unemployed in most of our societies worldwide, and such an advance would only exacerbate this problem. (long rant which followed deleted and moved to my blog)

Next time you think you are the 53%, remember that the top taxpayers pay taxes on only 50% of their income because they have access to classes of income which are not taxed, classes of income the rest of us (including you) do not have access to because we do not have sufficient capital to make war in that theater. The people who aren't paying any taxes are living in poverty. A lot of those people are literally going to be burning their furniture to stay warm this winter.
