Public Record
Joel Salatin, a farmer and regenerative agriculture advocate, has been offered a position withinthe USDA. He will advise Thomas Massie who’s agreed to be Secretary of Agriculture. Here’s thefull message posted to his website today: “The deplorables and garbage people won again. Canyou believe it? I've been contacted by the Trump transition team to hold some sort of positionwithin the USDA and have accepted one of the six "Advisor to the Secretary" spots. My favoritecongressman, Thomas Massie from Kentucky, has agreed to go in as Secretary of Agriculture.He's been the sponsor of the PRIME ACT, which, if pushed through, would be the biggest shotacross the bow of the entrenched industrial meat processing system we've seen in a century. Letliberty ring. Wouldn't that be a change of fortune for Big Ag? If RFK Jr. goes in as Sec. of Healthand Human Services, everything will be inverted. Talk about the coolest turn about. He'd be theboss of the Faucis and Francis Collins--the whole covid anti-science crowd. Wouldn't that be achange of fortune for Big Pharma? And if Elon Musk goes in as a Government Waste Czar, doyou think he could possibly find something? Here's an interesting tidbit. All the income taxes inthe U.S. are $2 trillion a year. Government spending and borrowing are so out of control that ifwe eliminated $2 trillion from the budget, it would only set us back to 2020. Does anyone thinkreturning to government spending in 2020 would destroy things? Of course not. So all we haveto do is cut federal spending to 2020 levels and we can eliminate incometax. Period. Done. How would that make you feel? Most people don't know enough history toknow that the federal government was to be financed entirely from tariffs and excise taxes. In
president who eliminated the national debt was Andrew Jackson, and he did it by eliminating thesecond bank of the U.S. Nearly 100 years later we got the third bank, known as the FederalReserve, plus the income tax. During that time, tariffs averaged 40-50 percent. After the incometax, tariffs dropped to an average of about 7 percent, where they remain today. If we went backto 40 percent, like we had for nearly 150 years, we would bring production home and free ourcitizens from impoverishing taxes. Dear folks, this is a watershed moment to take a creative andserious look at the sacred cows in our nation and fry some serious burgers. We don't knowhistory. We don't know liberty. We don't know earthworms or aquifers or immune systems. I'mhoping this election is an opening to discovery. Perhaps we could even figure out how to putnegative occurrences like jails, pollution, and cancer on the nation's balance sheet, as a liabilityrather than an asset (Gross Domestic Product--more jails? wonderful, pour more concrete andmake more jobs). Perhaps we'll eliminate federal involvement in education, from kindergartento college. Make every teacher accountable to performance. Eliminate ALL federal interventionin the food system, in farming, in energy. The Constitution (read it) doesn't allow for any of thisand it's time to examine all of it. Shut down foreign military bases; bring them all home. StopALL foreign aid, from USAID to military aid. Sell stuff is fine; giving it isn't. I think whatever taxes we pay should be able to be designated to certain departments. That waywe the people could support or defund departments directly. The reason we have K street isbecause all our freedoms are for sale. Eliminate government manipulation and the lobbyists allgo home. These are simple things. Let's do it.”
