Where do you stand?
|
|
Kind of interested to see where growers stand politically. I would largely assume democrat, but then again I personally hate everything democrats stand for on almost EVERY issue so who knows, maybe there are more of me than I though? Hell I don't even think weed should be legal! hahah but then again, I think the laws against it should be FAR less than they are in many states, especially growing it for personal use.
That said, I'm not a huge McCain fan either, but my vote would never go to Obama. So lets see where you stand with these 4 answers given.
Oh, BTW I'm a long time lurker here, old school grower who just decided to get back in my groove

This is the first one with a third party option- therefore the first I've actually voted in.
I'd bet the majority here on RIU is third party/ write in.

Well, I aint happy with the choices, cudda been better choices for both sides, but I know who I am NOT voing for, so the other gets my vote by default.
But I really think one is as bad as the other. Both are workin for the same end, the elimination of the middle class and them (reguardless of what side they seem to be on) will be sure to be the ones at the top of the food chain. And the only way to do that is to make sure that someone else is flippin the burgers and pumpin the gas.....

Until last year Obama was middle class himself. Heck, just a few years ago he had his credit card declined, and was just finishing paying his student loans. And he was a community organizer. You know what he was doing? Helping the poor organize so they don't get shafted by the wealthy. He was trying to help people *get* to the middle class; he certainly doesn't want to see it destroyed.
If you look at Obama's tax plan, the taxes are cut primarily for the middle class and the poor, and in significantly higher amounts than McCain's plan. The best example is for the truly poor. McCain is offering them like $37 a year in tax cuts. Obama would help them by more than $500. ($37? That's like a kick in the teeth!)
They are QUITE different, those two candidates. McCain has stacked the deck and weighted things significantly more toward the wealthy. Which, from a pragmatic standpoint, makes sense -- HE is wealthy, so his plan will benefit him more. Obama is wealthy now too, but only recently, and apparently he hasn't yet lost compassion for the common man and the poor.

I would personally like to know how McCain is gonna pay for the war without raisin SOMEBODY'S taxes..... I am a beatnik and $100 is ALOT of money to me (weed for a week!) and I can't sit on my ass and let my money make more money for me. There are those who don't hafta work, they INHERITED this, not earned it, and I gotta bust my ass for my measly $300 a week, while others' money make them thousands just sitting in the banks? Kinda makes it hard to relate.....

Here's an Idea, quit smoking pot,(100.00 a week), and start a savings plan, (100.00 a week), when you reach retirement age, that 5200.00 a year, may have added up to a pretty good sum, 20 years=100,000.00 without interest, who knows what it could be with compounded interest, maybe 200,000.00+ It's never too soon to start a good savings plan. Quit wasting money on feeding your head, and start paying yourself. Grow your own if you must smoke the shit.
