You can answer that question when you yourself – or your children – work on a farm picking strawberries for 12 hours per day.

While I have never worked on a farm, I went to a high school in farm country, and so many of my classmates families owned small farms that they worked themselves. Neither they nor their children considered the hard life beneath them.

I estimate that the majority of people in the US have ancestors that arrived in the last 125 years, mostly in steerage. Where did that work ethic for a better life go?
