Socialism is Legal Plunder, right Bernie?

Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

I’ve known a few who were bar owners or bartenders.

I know one who had a very promising career who bought a small bar as a side business.

Within a year he was divorced and had lost his $150K/year job because he would show up to work late nearly every day hung over.

He still runs the bar.

They could just be farmhands, pickin’ bud in the hot sun. Like old chain gang field work.

Perhaps presidential candidates should be drug tested? Bernie would certainly fail.

The good thing is even if they don’t want to work they will still be eligible for free marijuana.

Every federal program such as one like this is just another tax per cash box to be raided by DC politicians. How do you suppose so many Congress pukes become millionaires while in office. While far too many in this country go without, Crooked lying Joe Biden has exposed just how DC works, it works for them at the expense of us!

Does that mean it’s no longer “Learn to Code” but it’s now “Learn to Dope”?

When it’s illegal, we’re told how expensive & ineffective it is to criminalize harmless activities that people will engage in anyway.

Let’s legalize it and tax it to pay for affordable housing and programs for the mentally ill!

Then after we legalize, we recognize the need to...subsuduze!
