the problem with america’s economic bailout is that it’s not focused in the right areas of disposable income.
why do we say this..
Just take a look around you. Have the taxes on Cigarettes and Cigars increased; how about the tax on Alcohol ? not in this state just yet. these so called sin taxes when imposed helped to do a few things.
raise revenue
raise awareness
cause changes in social patterns
the bottom line is this, if America wants to follow the real line of green commerce, it’s going to have to relax rules on certain crops and gain an advantage by doing it. simply because Americans will revolt if they can’t get their beer and smokes, plainly put.
Americans will also revolt if the government doesn’t come up with a less cash intensive way to create a boatload of cash, within the next year. theres’ no other way to look at it. we have to use the green to get the green. Hemp can be started today by the large tobacco growers, and as well the corrections farm systems.
that initial crop would help to start the re-greening of americas’ industry and economy.
Hemp was the original crop that produced the wealth of the young America. so much so, the British commonwealth demanded a supply be sent monthly as a tax payment. the crop grows wild, and requires no management by chemicals or soil enrichment. it will grow in the desert as well as the swamp.
This is what America needs..a Green Rebirth
We as Rastafarian’s support the legalization of Marijuana for Spiritual and Medicinal uses. we do not support the legalization of Drugs of any form. Cocaine and Heroin are Drugs because they are Processed to become Usable as Drugs. Marijuana grows from the soil, drys and does not require processing to make it usable. as such it IS NOT A DRUG.
no doubt many of you want to leave comments trying to convince us otherwise, but listen to this - if God / JAH made it, then I support it.
Now isn’t that a cute dog ? don’t you just love him. well he’s a Portuguese Water Dog. that’s what the Obama Girls will be walking come April. no date has been announced for the arrival of the new BFF, but we’re betting it’s going to be around tax time.
the breed is known to be a favorite amongst many the Obama’s looked at. Senator Ted Kennedy owns several and we read at Politicus.us that he lobbied hard for the breed to be the Obama Girls new BFF (best furry friend).
we’re wondering if they’ll be getting him from a shelter, or a breeder, or maybe even a gift from Senator Kennedy. either-way, this is a great dog for the Obama Girls. I just love how loyal the breed is. they’re smart, good with kids and they are relatively hypoallergenic apparently, since one of the Obama Girls has an allergy, that had to be taken into account; during the selection process.
today I wondered if they’d be having the secret service scan the dog, or implant a microchip into their BFF - to keep him safe and easily recognizable. you can never be too careful when it comes to your kids furry friends. you know those pesky portuguese just might be looking to steal our white house secrets - and they may not be above sending in a deep cover operative, to sniff them out so to say. lol.
All kidding aside, we’re happy with the choice for new first dog, because they’re perfect.
somehow I wonder how many of us have are willing to give up the last of what we have to finance those who have much more than they could ever use, or really need ? asking that question is the one we have avoided - which is why we are in this mess in the first place.
- This is the Bush Economic Strategy from a slightly older era -
today I want to ask you to think along with me on what you’ve given up in the name of the Bush Economic Mistake - remember where you were when he was appointed. your salary stayed the same, if you still have one, until he departed eight years later.
The Clinton Surplus was swallowed whole by the bush war machine, and then more of the residuals of it’s investment in ramping up that war machine, made the oil barons even richer; on our losses.
the problem with america’s economic bailout is that it’s not focused in the right areas of disposable income.
