Farming is not an "industry," but it's as close to industry as we now have 
in the U.S. The parasites and money changers in the big cities certainly 
aren't producing the necessary goods needed for their citizens to survive. 
They just eating up a disproportionate share of the wealth. Federal taxes 
that come from the blue collar workers in the "fly-over" states, end up in 
the gaping maw of the parasites in the cities.
