You're so behind the times! Since when does America have peasants? They're all farm-owners! It goes without saying that they have their own fields and land-- they also get juicy government subsidies. And do you think they have to work the land themselves? No way-- it's all mechanized! Getting married to this Uncle Sam means Xiao Li will be living the good life. And you thought they were all like Chinese peasants, slaving away under the hot sun, hoping all year long for a good harvest that would allow them to raise their families.
