I read in a blog the some one doesn't like paying tax for welfare. Well thats fair enough; people should work and contribute to soceity. No arguments there. But supporting a system that creates, maintains, and encourages inequalities means that there will always be unemployment. Ever since the Neo-Liberals took over on the sly, full employment has never been a socio-economic goal. Nationalised industries, however innefficient, provided secure jobs. I'd rather that the unemployed were part a nationalized industry doing something instead of robbing and frauding the DSS. If pot were legalized, taxed and regulated not only would it cease to be a gateway drug, there'd be less dealers, there be more money to spend on paying wlefare leading to tax cuts, and more investment in public services without tax rises. Surely that'd be a good thing. There'd be less people in jail which is only a good thing. Has Dutch soceity collapsed?
I'm not advocating a tokeout on the bus to work, just in your house or in a coffee house. Imagine that a fat Koner in Starbucks(i might be a commie but they make nice coffe).....goddamn.
Toke-out brother and sister commrades!
