If you look around, you can see a few things running rampant in the US. You may see a house being foreclosed because the dollar is not what it used to be. You may see a drug dealer sell to a child. You may see an assault rifle come out in a theatre with nobody to deal with the problem. A woman being forced into servitude, or a man forced to fight for what he doesn’t believe in. You see a political civil war between fellow Americans, a social gridlock between fellow Americans, and you see a ruthless economy threatening the very existence of the American dream to be accomplished by fellow Americans. You see new issues coming up constantly, you see the media enraging the common public, and you see old issues being engraved into the society. You may see issues, but I see a way to fix some of those issues. Legalizing certain drugs, incorporating capital punishment more, cutting taxes to all classes, expanding the capital punishment to include more crimes to qualify, and lowering the legal age to drink and purchase alcohol. First the economy. Before I give you facts, reasons, and evidence to support my claims towards the extremely complicated process to fix something this radical, let me give you my claims. Starting with maybe the easiest step, the government should lower taxes to all classes throughout our society. Now before you go all “how does that fix anything with the government getting less money” on me, think about this. You lower taxes to the point to where people can afford to do more things; the art of the consumer starts to boot up. People buy more things like toys, all the way to bigger houses, bringing in a whole new way to generate revenue with other taxes. Next up, the legalization of illegal drugs should be passed, and taxed. Heavily. Ok maybe not ALL drugs, because the synthetic drugs can cause some serious problems. Organic drugs though, marijuana
