Granted, Winfrey has the power to say what she wishes, even when her opinions are not based by fact. But what, to me, causes her to be beneath contempt is how she continues to travel around the world, lavishly embracing and supporting trendy causes. She attempts to portray herself as a kind, benevolent person who cares for the downtrodden, not forgetting her roots. Having grown up in a Chicago slum, she claims to never forget the poor, the needy, those who have been wronged by authority. Yet she nobly turns her back on the families that she wrongfully destroyed.
Small farmers are among the hardest working and least rewarded of people.
They do not get welfare. They do not get food stamps. They work hard to pay their own bills, and often live on the edge of total poverty. They wake up early and go to bed late and work extremely hard in between. Often they stay up all night with sick animals that die anyway, representing a loss of thousands of dollars.
