The revelations made by Jeffery P. Terence epitomize the urgency for regulations against Dank industries to be utterly erased. In summation of his discovery on the website of the U.S. Census Bureau, there are “86 million full-time workers who sustain, 148 million benefit takers.” Holy Shit!

The numbers instantly highlight an attitude I have been espousing this year. The perspective that sooner or later government will kill the host economy. It is sobering to consider that there are nearly double the number of people on the government dole than there are working full-time in the private sector.

Based on similar statistics released by the Heritage Foundation, shows that nearly half of the tax money government collects (after the Federal Reserve Bank gets its cut) is used for entitlement programs such as medicaid and social security. The lights are out. The party's over.

Once the numbers are even further analyzed, it takes only a little time to discover the trend appears to be heading towards a cliff. And in a big fucking hurry. Since the late 60's and 70's, the numbers of those relying on government assistance has been exponentially increasing. The plan devised was supposedly for the purpose of economic relief.

The similarities and connections between the 'War on Drugs' and the 'War on Poverty' are flagrant and undeniable. The “middle-class” is disappearing. Nearly half of the country receives some sort of government benefits. One in thirteen American workers in on disability. We have a welfare epidemic.

The answer provided by the state, “Me Hungry! Me Want More!” And by default the recourse is to ask for more from an already dwindling productive segment of society. Feel the pressure. Feel the squeeze.

Meanwhile, government regulations are impeding potentially fertile means of living. Dank has an enormous potential to create an entirely new segment of dynamic entrepeneurs. If we could all just get Uncle Sam to mind his own fucking business.

But the reality is, government seldom relinquishes a stranglehold once it has achieved it. It typically likes to sink it in even further. Until one day it suffocates the host. Even in the absence of government interference, and theft achieved through the 'War on Drugs,' Dank industries will be confronted with the hoggishness of government entitlement programs of the welfare/warfare state.

What is the welfare-class going to do when the whole charade comes crashing down? It appears as though they have already been taught to believe that what others produce also belongs to them.

I do not intend to sound callous or detached. I empathetic to the needs of those who are unable to provide for themselves. But we have allowed for the genesis of a culture that rewards dispassion.

Why create something if the motivation to survive has already been satisfied by benefits from some one else's labor? I am all for the leisure class. I do not like working for very long, when I do work. And the goal of a productive society is that the requirement for labor decreases. The US government has definitely appeared to have worked-out a formula for decreasing labor, however it appears the majority of society has suffered in the process.
