Or from South Carolina to even California?

Last time I checked cotton didn't breathe, need water, eat, poop or pee either and when was the last time a head of lettuce or bunch of bananas made it from Point A to Point B without turning into a brown, juicy pool of paste because it took weeks or months to get there?

Silly rabbits these Republican and Libertarian morans.

ETA: I don't understand why these folks don't get that it's our taxes and modern infrastructure that make all these global economic miracles happen. I probably never will.
