    Maybe this is a case where GMO can help.....make Arabica as robust as Robusta or lower the caffeine level of Robusta so it tastes better.

    My first thought was "seed bank those suckers". Then when the climate shift causes wile Arabica to go extinct, introduce it to new habitats.

    Not really....and anyone who says that has never been a slave.

    If you think you are a slave, leave the country and see if anyone here tries to stop you.

    We have legal precedence since the 1790's and a constitutional amendment that says the congress can tax pretty much anything it wants...The constitution also allows that same congress to decide how it spends those taxes...in the case of modern era America, it spends in on military, and social programs (that includes corporate welfare). you must have been mistaken in your understanding of the government you and your ancestors were born under.
