The Power of Prisons

Even though we tend to think of Republicans/Corporatists as single-mindedly money-hungry, I think they are willing to make less money as long as they get to vilify brown people.

Instead of taxing legalized pot, and emptying the prisons of their non-violent pot-convicted inmates, thus saving money not having to house those prisoners, the Republicans/Corporatists have decided it is more "valuable" to keep those dangerous brown-skinned law-breakers behind bars ... where they obviously belong, because they 'broke the law".

Abolish the drug possession laws, and those browns will be able to walk around in decent society. Unthinkable!
