Democrats want Valley slaves

I watch as our Valley turns to dust, and I wonder why this state government allows this to happen. Most of the people outside of the Valley are liberal Democrats, socialists even. Now what would a socialist do with a dry, barren Valley?

Buy it cheap, or just take it, fix the water problem and enslave those on welfare into forced workers on a socialist-run communal farm. So, keep voting Democrat, you people on welfare. Soon you won’t be living in Section 8 housing, it will be a barracks. You will be out in the fields before sun up.
