Banks would refuse to give them loans unless they purchased really expensive new equipment, then when they would fall behind on payments the banks would foreclose on the loans. I remember reading about one farmer who lost his family farm and went in to plead with the bank beforehand and they basically told him to fuck off. He came back and shot the bank manager to death.

I always archive the replies he gets from the left. Going to create a board game one day called Butt-Hurt. The object of the game is to try to destroy your neighbors by either filling their squares they land on with either feces or illegal alien squatters.
