Democracy Update

Well, right now in America Democracy is running somewhat efficiently. Except for the fact the government isn't for the people and that the people we elect and truthful. For instance gun control, 86% of America wants bans and restrictions on assault rifles but our elected officials wont vote to pass any kind of bans… maybe because the NRA gives them money. It also is not really fare the so called "patriot act" was passed by congress in the middle of the night right after 9/11 when we were all "scared." I promise you not every single congress member even opened the bill. I admire George Washington for many reasons but one reason is he said these words "political parties will ruin government" and he was right on the money. What ever happened to people voting for what they believe is the right thing to do or maybe even for the people like we elected them to do. Now for instance democrats believe that abortion should be legalized for various reasons, but republicans think it should be made illegal for their various reasons. Now how is someone who was elected as a democrat is not going to vote against making abortion illegal because he ran as a democrat? Maybe some people voted for him because of that, you really don't know. Who payed for the persons campaign to be a senator? GUESS WHO the political party they chose. So who do you think is making these decisions the senator or the political parties and their views? This is why America need to abolish political parties and have senators run independently and get campaign money from a trustee fund created by the government, the money in that trust fund is the only money they get to use to campaign. This would in turn eliminate corruption and make the senators vote for the people instead of voting for their party. you decide for yourself

High Class Greedy unappreciative America

As shown in the picture to the right Americas wealth is mostly distributed among the top 10%. Many people see this as a huge problem and we need to tax tax tax and tax the rich a ton more than we do the middle and lower class. But here is the catch, AMERICA WAKE UP THE GOVERNMENT CALLED THEY WANT THEIR GREED BACK. Like really  Americans have no idea how high our standard of "poor" is. Right now the most up to date statistic is the average american home is bringing in 50,000 american dollars a year home to their family. the poverty line is 23,000 for a family of four. While in China the average family of four makes 9,000 dollars a year.Oh and in America we love to give you other people money because you don't have any! AND theirs more you'll get healthcare, free schooling, cloths, food, and maybe even a cell phone!SO America wake up from nap time rub your eyes open them up and take a look at how greedy we are. My opinion on the taxation is that their shouldn't be taxes, i mean look in the constitution and any other documents i never found anything that said were required to pay taxes? The government needs to stay out of the majority of our day to day lives and carry out the simple functions we need it to do.

                                                              Legalization of Marijuana

When you think of marijuana you think of Bob Marley or some college kids partying. Let me tell you first off I do not smoke and never plan on it, but legalizing the countries most harmful drug ( according to the united states) could benefit the the entire country. First just think about how many people are in prison right now due to the selling, production , and smoking of the drug. Call a libertarian if you want but listen here, who the hell is the government to decide what we but in our lungs. I personally like to compare it to religion, the government absolutely loves staying OUT of church affairs or pretty much anything to do with the church. But when it comes to what we like to do or how we go about doing things they have to micromanage it all. Every year we spend about 50 million dollars in the process of capturing the people who sell , manufacture, smoke the drug but hey if we legalize it we could redistribute that money to way more important things like maybe even REDUCING OUR DEBT. The legalization would also create a whole new job force and in turn drastically create jobs and improve our economy. You could make the argument that maybe legalizing the drug will take away jobs from the law enforcement that try to catch them. What i have to say to that argument is that you're completely wrong the law enforcement can go catch some rapists and murders instead of people smoking, selling, and manufacturing the drug.ALSO since our government as proven to be insanely greedy (our nations debt is a prime example) they could even tax the drug and make money off of it. We do the same with tobacco and alcohol. Lastly i would like to point out i am nit to sure about  the term "Medicinal Marijuana" but what i do want to say is it is very hard as a scientist to study a illegal drug in hopes of extracting elements of it to help children and adults with epilepsy. Thats why the drug needs to be legalized.
