We are in desperate need of profitable industries we can tax; um, now can we legalize pot?

"But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual."

Yeah, hard to keep the corporation in Americam, when there are 100s of millions of slaves who will do their work.
Oh goody! Food on the table! The CEOs, executives, engineers, and middle management get rewards, while the workers get "food on the table". Yippy! What a great world!
How many people in the world, Josh?
Not sure where I posted this, but here is a reply to a point in another thread:
There has been a long gradual recession over the last 8 years, but only for the lower classes.
Not according to the government.
Government is controlled by welfare capitalists.
Welfare capitalists is an oxymoron and as we're seeing, do not exist. There is nothing capitalist about welfare.
Sure there is. You use tax dollars to help other capitalists out. Trade barriers, free trade deals that only go one way, bailouts, subsidization, and deregulation. These are all examples of the Capitalist Welfare State in action.
Its a welfare state in action. Nothing capitalist about it.
It is welfare for the capitalists. Hence, "capitalist state".
errata: "Hence, capitalist welfare state".
All welfare is for capitalists than, because by nature, we are all capitalists. Is that not what you are when you contract yourself out to teach english?
We are by nature capitalists? Hogwash. If you mean we are by nature "selfish", that is at least true. But we are more than just selfish. We are communal.
I exist within the economic system that I must exist in. Humans have not always been capitalists. They live in communal tribes for millions of years and as slave and master during the farming era.
Anyway, half of the American working class votes for the Republicans, and will do so as long as their wages are high. My analysis is basically not a program, but a keeping the flame alive.
"We are communal."
Absolutely. But one community shouldn't be able to dictate to another, or rob from another.
"as slave and master during the farming era."
These farmers were still capitalists, they just viewed other lives as property. They didn't believe in civil liberties.
"alf of the American working class votes for the Republicans, and will do so as long as their wages are high."
The richest parts of the US vote Democratic. People don't vote on economic issues anyway, they vote on social issues. Thats the only way the Republicans ever get to power anyway.
