I'm saying WoD failed to stop drugs. Failed, as in, was supposed to and didn't. Was there a secondary purpose of incarcerating black people? Sure, could be. Is it racist to want to get rid of drugs? Nah.
Redistributing wealth by printing money is pretty stupid. The wealthy don't have money, because there are better investments. This is all based on the myth that inflation is necessary for society to function; that you need to push people to get rid of their money. Japan went like 20 years without inflation -- not saying they don't have problems, but to my eyes none of those problems are caused by a lack of inflation, and the typical person did not complain that inflation was too low. Redistributing wealth by taxing the rich is based.
I'm saying evil pieces of shit like Nixon did not care about drugs. They don't care about addiction, or overdoses, or any of that shit.
Do you think he was just a good boy trying his best to help people?
Why do you think he was the one the launch the war on drugs? Why him?
Their investments are still denominated in the currency, and by controlling the currency they trade in you can control their assets.
It's always the richest people in society that push for austerity and cuts to government services and lower taxes. You think this is a coincidence? They very much do care about their money, even if they have properties and stocks and other instruments.
Right, they're asking to cut taxes because the purpose of taxes is to redistribute wealth.
