I made a rant on my daily blog about guns and this more and more makes me feel I am right about gun control. Some of it isn't about guns but #5 is. I know I'm going to get some hostile reaction to this but our small town here in Michigan just had another murder for no damn reason. It's insane.
HOW TO HELP BALANCE THE NATIONAL DEBT
1. Legalize Marijuana and TAX it. Remember Prohibition? Alcohol was illegal. So, it went underground and was readily available to any person that wanted it. Finally the idiots in Washington decided, under pressure, to legalize and TAX it. Tons of money started to come in and to this day still does. Who, but the underground, was making tons of money on alcohol during prohibition. How about smoking? About 25-30% of the public smokes and cigarettes are heavily TAXED and tons of money is coming in on that. Marijuana would be no different. Legalize it and TAX it. Just like alcohol, if you are caught drunk driving you pay fines. If you are caught driving under the influence of Marijuana - you get some heavy fines. There is money to be made here if the politicians would just get their brains working right. WHY let underground crooks make money by selling it on street corners. Think of the murders that would not happen because of crooks trying to dominate certain areas. Maybe those crooks will go get a regular job instead of terrorizing neighborhoods with gang bang shootings, etc. Think about it.
2. Legalize prostitution. It's the worlds oldest profession isn't it? Been here since caveman days. Make women prostitutes (and male prostitutes) get licensed and have monthly medical checkups for diseases. And, make them pay TAXES on their income. Why do you want illegal Pimps making tons of money on this, now illegal, unreported income. And, how about the Pimps that mistreat their hookers, beat them and cheat them out of money. Let's put prostitution into a legal profession and TAX it like any other profession. Think about it.
3. Put at least a 300% TAX on Rap and Hip Hop recordings. Notice I did not say MUSIC as it absolutely does not represent music in any way. The lyrics are sickening our youth in a heavy way. Kill cops, misuse ho's, do drugs and on and on. Absolute total insanity, and these so-called artists are making millions of dollars putting out this trash to brainwash our kids. TAX it heavily and maybe it will go away and save our kids ... if not, bring this TAX money in to help pay our national debt. Think about it.
4. Put a $500 fine on people that turn their auto and/or home boom boxes on where you can hear the drums and bass a city block away. I personally don't want to be forced to hear that trash pounding my ears. $1000 on second offense. Give us ordinary citizens ears a rest from this junk pounding crap ... we DON'T want to share this garbage with you. Think about it.
5. Have every county and parish build a gun storage unit and make ALL citizens (Police exempt) pay a fee to store your weapons 24/7/365. Your weapons will be under supervised lock and key at all times. If you want to go hunting, range shooting or competition shooting you go check your gun out for that time period and return it within 24 hours after your gun related action is over. Otherwise, ABSOLUTELY NO GUNS in private hands unless legally owned and checked in and out of the supervised unit. IF you are caught with a gun not in the legal system you go to jail - no bond - minimum 5 years automatic jail time. 10 years second offense. Life 3rd offense. Just think of the murders and killings and robberies this would eliminate. Look at your daily news and just see how many gun crimes are being committed even as I type this. NO GUNS IN CITIZENS HANDS UNLESS LEGALLY OWNED AND LEGALLY CHECKED OUT OF THE SUPERVISED UNIT. PERIOD. The thieves and crooks would be speechless on this kind of law. Violent crime would definately go down. And, there would be money coming in from the storage unit where the guns are legally held for you. Think about it.
May Make some people mad but it makes sense to me and many people I talk with daily.
NOW, PLEASE Y'ALL HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.
