Summary/Abstract: The Czech nation is practically brimming over with a sense of justice. It’s estimated that farmers roughly account for only 3-5% of our population. Yet they are able to loudly inform the rest of us of the terrible injustice that they will suffer when they are given less aid than foreigners. In such a stifling atmosphere of righteous anger, it’s hard to find anyone, let alone an accountable politician, who would dare to address the completely elementary question as to why our farmers should actually receive anything.
