Why are you talking about alcohol rather than marijuana in any case? Your assertion was that legalizing cannabis would cause social harm. If your goal is preventing harm then you must also criminalise the currently legal recreational drugs

Alcohol certainly contributes to depression. It also causes a great deal of social harm. If you heatmap crime in a city bars are often the epicenters of violent crime. Factor in that the majority of sexual assaults and domestic abuse cases

It's not a matter of "We don't want this product", it is simply unaffordable for a great number of people. For many paying for insurance would essentially mean living like a Chinese peasant farmer, eating ramen noodles e

So are you are for the prohibition of tobacco and alcohol or are you just logically inconsistent with your rhetoric?

They can't take your house to repay medical bills. For many people in that bracket "going bankrupt" is essentially having a black mark on their credit score for 7 years. It simply isn't cost effective nor affordable for

The Democrats passed the ACA essentially without any Republican support. They had the power to create almost any bill they wanted. Why would anyone reasonably believe they would fix it? It is functioning exactly as designed and is enriching

Interesting that right around that number the Obamacare subsidies fade away and are replaced by fines. These are the people getting the short end of the stick in regards to the ACA.

As this election shows many in the middle class aren't fans of Obamacare. Maybe it isn't a boon to them as many people claim. The middle class are finding high deducable plans that increase in price by 25% each year and when it be

I worked at a very high end restaurant for a while. To me it appears that wine tasting is an attempt to justify going out and drinking for most people. Wine snob sounds better than functioning alcoholic.

I don't think the political prisons were built overnight. It was likely small, well meaning laws that slowly over time became corrupted. I can see the grandparents point. Reporting hotlines for things that are essentially thought crime

I grew up with Rage Against The Machine and have never trusted a political party. If you are able to take an objective look the utter hypocrisy from both sides is staggering. Clinton supporters will tell you to ignore her scandals because i

I never knew this. Have you ever noticed when you look deeper at any system created and run by people who claim to love the free market, it is loaded with anti free market regulation? Who is the stock exchange to tell me I can't sell m

As I said it actually costs less money to own where I live. With FHA loans very little capital is required up front. You just don't get to live within the city proper and instead have about a 15 - 20 minute commute. I've spoken to

I believe that the truth is somewhere in between. I'm 27 and own my own home. Where I live it's actually more economical to own if you can accept living outside of the city. Many people my age refuse to make that compromise and in
