I suppose the point of the thread is for people to realize that if you vote for people who want to raise taxes/expand government (democrats expand big government and the state/republicans expand the wars/take away liberties ((such as weed))) (oh and they both routinely vote to expand the war on drugs) then you aknowledge part of that money will end up with police/dea/fbi/swat etc. If government gets smaller they will no longer even be able to afford a war on drugs let alone cannabis which would be instantly legalized. I always vote to legalize it, but also to shrink government. Its like we can vote twice but most don't. (at least from my experience). So vote libertarian or something.
i think the federal gov't should handle only worldly affairs, giving the local and state gov't more power, yet also a closer understanding of what the people want as our population continues to grow ever so rapidly. But yes, vote for someone with libertarian values.. and preferably republican
Doesnt mean they can afford it, they owe the fed reserve money back on every dollar printed, so yea, while they can print 10 million more to go towards DEA raiding and shit, they are going to owe the fed reserve 10 million and some few thousand back on it, meaning they cant afford it. Triage of expense doesnt change the fact they have no money. And really, you mean WE the people can afford it, cause they would be using tax dollars more than printing extra money.
economics 101 says we can't do that. it would throw everything off. Just a stoned thought.. Why worry about money. Focus on thyself; Hone in a skill and money shall come as a result of hard work. That's how it should work. It all boils down to laziness.
Let alone the peoples votes arent going to "shrink" the government.... we dont even decide the president, the elec college does. On top of that no one has ANY clue how corrupt the voting system is... ive never met a vote counter? has anyone? Who sits and makes sure the politicians aren't paying vote counters? or result recorders? no one is.... not a single person. And to say the government has police, or some sort of agent watching to make sure this doesnt happen, is oxymoronic as they would be they ones paying them in the first place
