“America’s Four Socioeconomic Classes

1. Parasitic financial Aristocracy (creates no value, skims national surplus)

2. High value creation (employed, heavily taxed)

3. Low value creation (employed/informal economy, lightly taxed)

4. No value creation (unemployed, dependent)

In the conventional view, the wealthy subsidize the poor via taxes and donations to charity (i.e. noblesse oblige). But the conventional framework ignores the key question of where the wealthy obtained their fortunes, and the consequences of that wealth acquisition on the larger economy.

What we need to consider is what happens as the parasitic and dependent classes take an ever-larger share of the national surplus while the classes creating most of the value decline in size and political influence.”

It is no good wasting money “going after” only one segment of users or abusers IMO.

Totally agree. And the fact is most drugs are only in the system for a short time. Mainly pot smokers would get caught. And even then, their are flush products on the market that could even hide that.600,000 grand for nothing.

Time to drug test politicians who are also paid with our taxes.

About time. I have to take a drug test to work, and pay the taxes that they gobble up.
Maybe without drugs they will realize that there are jobs out there.
