How to Solve the issues of the Untied States.
1) Welfare: Mandatory drug testing for people on disability, welfare, and any other govt program for that matter
2) Our Huge Deficit - Legalize Marijuana and tax the chit out of it! LEGAL WEED = Deficit Killer
3) Immigration- Take away all state income tax. Make all state sales tax 10%. That way the illegals still pay some taxes.
1) Agreed, but I wouldn’t do everyone, make is random and if they test positive they retest immediately and get elevated to a more routine testing cycle. Two failed tests in a 3 year period and they are excluded for 3 years from receiving any .gov benefits
2) I don’t see weed solving anything, look at Cali where it is legal with a prescription, they have taxed and permitted the hell out of it and that state is in worse shape than any other. Bunch of stoners don’t want to work, see #1 above.
3) Texas does not have State Income Tax. And we have more Illegal Mexicans than anyone 'cept Cali. "Some" taxes is about right, but they don’t spend money at all, most send everything back south of the border. I think you require valid SS# and ID to enroll your kids in school, go into a hospital, or buy gasoline and beer. That will catch enough that they won’t stay here. Now who will do all the work no one else will do? The bums on welfare? **** no!
Here is my current rant of pissed off hate:
We in the US are nearly 100% ****ed on the skilled labor front. The only people in the past 15 years who have learned to roof, build cabinets, pour concrete (tie rebar), dig pools, pave asphalt, fix a tire, etc…. Are immigrants (legal or illegal). The core population has rested on previous generations laurels and is soon going to be ****ed.
I look forward at the problems that my kids will face, and I think about things I know how to do or could do if my cush desk job went “bye-bye†I can weld, I am damn good with wood construction, I could go farm raising cattle. Many things I learned skill wise came from growing up on a farm. My kids aren’t going to have that unfortunately, so what do I need to do to ensure I leave my kids with skill sets to fall back on if **** goes south. West will be an accomplished welder by the end of high school, I promise that, but what else? That’s more of a rhetorical question, but **** to think about none the less.
We can play the blame Obama all day long game, but that’s the same game he plays blame anyone/everyone else, currently it’s the Tea Party. The blame game has to stop at us, and fixed with us. I’m not looking to blame anyone even if I want to. I’m looking to move forward and get **** done. Blame isn’t going to move us forward its just going to mire us down.
Blah blah, my thoughts that brewed on the morning commute.
