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.
I really didn’t like this sketch,, but -
When I saw this video I was totally pissed..
YouTube has some very ignorant stuff, if you look for it. this was easily located while I was doing a search for news on the monkey cartoon; from the new york post. this video was at the top of the list; and never did I go back to look for the news broadcast videos, from the NYC Market. that’s what I was really looking for; before I found this trash.
Yeah I’m a lil pissed, after looking at it. but there is something that needs to be said that I’ve read over and over; but until I saw it in the beginning of this video - didn’t matter at all.
how did the shrub’s folks feel when he was compared by the same website to a monkey? probably not too happy either..
it’s a matter of class, personal taste and preference from what I see.
some folks feel like it’s a national insult, to publicly draw comparisons between a monkey and the president. it is, in my opinion. Even when Bush was president, I compared him to a bush or a shrub; occassionally some discarded fecal matter; but never a living animal. I have much more respect for animals than to do that. besides jackals don’t need any advertising. they are doing quite fine on wallstreet and in DC from what I see on the news each evening.
still I wonder why it appears more vociferous when it’s the monkey being shot by two white cops ? could that added element of seeing the white man with a gun be the real trigger for this anguish ?
President Obama spoke about regreening the neighborhoods of america. our question is how is he planning on doing it ? there is so much despair, and economic disparity that the few residents who may be able and ready to open a business in their own neighborhood; most likely wouldn’t because of the problems involved.
we found this video by Mikkey Halstead called Liquor Store
this video addresses the apathy often felt in the communities that are now vast economic wastelands; for the citizens who inhabit them. when he speaks about the special loans and tax deferments; many Minority businesses have the same gripe. how can a person who is not a citizen of the country or even a tax payer get such a bonanza. when a US National who has lived here his whole life, CAN’T ?
the problem with america’s economic bailout is that it’s not focused in the right areas of disposable income.
