The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL) The KGB Back Room You are the Prez, what do you do... WHAT DO YOU DO

From a Business Week article which used data from Canada to project what the revenue from Govt. sale of MJ could generate.



Is it going to solve the budget issue? Absolutely not. Could it add another $40-100 Billion a year into the Fed Tax Coffers, you damn well bet it would.

This would as well have a lateral effect on Crime in the US as more prison space would be freed up to house inmates for longer periods of there sentence and allow for more criminals of other crimes to take the place of those not being arrested for possession of marijuana based on the new laws that would have to be passed.

So the argument of the Prison Industry loosing money is total bullshit.

Arkh is my personal hero

Well I got banned from some french forum when I tried to speak about weapons and how it's better to let people defend themselves. Your 80%... well we're not far in here for what should be the middle class.

Before I see my salary, 49% of it is taxed.
Then I get income taxes, around 9% of what was left. So that's already 52.8% taxed. Add our mighty VAT which should be around 20% (19.6% for everything but food, 70%+ for fuel) and you get around a 60% taxed SOB. That's how the median and mean revenue of retired people is now higher than the one of working ones. Our country has been jacked by the baby boomers : they got laws which protected their job until retirement (creating lot of unemployment), crazy pensions when you learn what they had to pay for it, they added lot of laws on what people can build and where so the housing prices are skyrocketing (and guess who own those houses) and they brainwashed our generation thanks to a lock-on the school system and media to think all this is normal and good for everyone.

Our "right" is far left of your left on the socialism vs liberty scale.

Give me Liberty or give me death

Viva la revolution

Arkh,

The baby-boomers here did the same things.. I have weekly, if not daily discussions, with some guys I work with and the total consensus after the discussion are we should fucking kill every last one of that generation

Even my parents are from that generation but my father is more, if you can imagine, like what we speak here. Honest day's work for honest days pay.. Been screwed out of 2 pensions by collapsed markets/businesses and he's just a skilled laborer w/ his journeyman papers (machinist)

He's so unlike those baby-boomers that have fucked this great nation and it even pains him to talk about what has transpired. Talk about giving a legacy to mine, and future generations, jesus christ.

Ahh Icky and I really enjoyed talking to you LOL but bring it if you must. I feel I must warn you that boomers in this part of the country are armed and we wont feel bad for even a second after putting you down.

Some would say its the gen x kids who think they can have it all without having to work for it but who knows. I am almost sure its better to focus on solutions and not who can I blame.

Have a nice day!

You really hit the nail on the head.

LOL

Hey I didn't say all of them (or did I?)

Seriously tho your statement about GenX (which I think was my generation, I thought, I'll have to confirm) isn't this way. We are just now coming into power, since I'll be 40 next year (I think) but the generations AFTERWARDS are the ones who want everything for no work.

I'm talking about those kids now-a-days who won't work at McDonalds or work on the farms like I did when I was a kid. I was picking tomatoes, bailing hay and everything else around age 11-12 and I've not stopped since.

I found out at an early age I didn't want to do those types of jobs but have had the full gambit of jobs over the years from those tomato picking to meat packing/slaughter to photo journalist (side-bar with the AP in mid 20's). I've really never NOT worked and to see the later generations expecting it all for nothing irritates the shit out of me.

Again, for those boomers it's not everyone and I understand that (alas my father/mother as examples) but you have to admit (I hope) that those few generations around those time frames really stank up the system bad, no? (lol)

I have weapons too! Mind weapons!

Peace my brother Banshee!

it's the boomers.

Some funny shit here, some good stuff, but some funny shit as well. If you could scrub down the nonsense and keep the good, and get Washington to actually do it, you would have something.
