Every year our state has to spend a large sum of money on supervising marijuana because it is illegal. But once Proposition 19 is passed, those marijuana offenders and drug traffickers will be innocent. “The measure could result in savings to the state and local governments by reducing the number of marijuana offenders incarcerated in state prisons and county jails, as well as the number placed under county probation or state parole supervision”(Brown 14). This could save California millions of dollars annually.
It would be a way for our economy to be stimulated. Just think… if these women could legally make up to three hundred thousand a year (if not more) that was taxed; common sense says they would spend it. More money in our economy means more growth in the job industry, which would just enable men to spend more money on sex. America is in the middle of this crisis where there are not enough jobs, so we need to stimulate the economy. According to fox news there are over one million prostitutes in the United States alone.
Like the economic principle of “supply and demand” when supply is up demand is down. Providing a place for people to carry out their sexual practices would likely prevent sexual violence. Another benefit is leveed taxes against brothels. Legalizing prostitution would take money that had not previously been taxed and produce an additional source of revenue for the government. So far in the United States only Nevada has been able to claim that benefit.
I assume crack or cocaine by their demeanor. But why does prostitution have to be a drug driven need for money? If this woman could work as a prostitute legitimately and have the same benefits and right as everyone else, would she be in the same condition she is now? If prostitution were legal this woman could have a chance at living as a regular functioning member of society. People see only the negative sides of prostitution, like how it encourages sex out of wedlock
Gambling in the United States is against the Federal and state restrictions but it is the leading industry in this country by the amount of money involved and by the number of participants. I would assume that about ninety million American adults are gambling inconceivably large or greater amounts of fifty billion dollars annually. Gambling has its bad years but has more good years than bad years. So with all the good years more and more participants become involved allowing the gambling industry to continue to grow. Majority of the
With shows like this on air for the world to see it is a disgrace. This country is well over dry on money, yet, we can spend millions on each of these cast members who do nothing but party and be belligerent drunks. According to TMZ.com the Jersey Shore cast is getting paid $100,000 an episode and there is 13 episodes in a season, don’t forget to include their appearances, advertisement, exedra. America claims to be out of money and needs help yet we are supplying millions of dollars to people who don’t deserve
Position one contends that all acts of prostitution should be fully legalized while position two contends that all acts of prostitution should be illegal. Each of the two opposing positions attempts to tackle the issue of prostitution by appealing to different audiences within society at large, presenting valid arguments to their cause. The first position supports the full legalization of prostitution. “Full legalization” is defined as the decriminalization and government regulation of the prostitution business. Under “full legalization”, bawdy-houses are licensed and regulated by the government, prostitutes
If we look at the statistics alone we see in many areas we are already winning. According to the Uniform Crime Reports and Federal Bureau of Investigation arrests for drug law violations this year are expected to exceed the 1,663,582 arrests of 2009. Law enforcement made more arrests for drug abuse violations (an estimated 1.6 million arrests, or 13.0 percent of the total number of arrests) than for any other offense in 2009. Someone is arrested for violating a drug law every 19 seconds.3 The current Commissioner of the New York City Police Department Raymond Kelly said “If you look back in history, if you look back 20 years ago, we had about 25 million drug users in this country. They say that we are down below 13 million now.
Legalizing marijuana here will save and make an immense amount of money. Keeping marijuana illegal, however, costs a lot more money. Our tax money is being spent on the cost of prosecution and defense of accused offenders, cost of incarceration of convicted offenders, foster care and social services for children of incarcerated offenders, and cost of active law enforcement (SDAA). Housing a single marijuana offender in a prison costs taxpayers over $100,000 (Donziger). In total, taxpayers spend up $7.5 billion, or $23,500 per person, annually on feeding, clothing, and providing shelter for marijuana offenders (Donziger).
Prostitution is not regulated in any way (no licensing) but prostitutes can contribute can contribute to the official government pension fund and receive benefits when they retire. New Zealand The Prostitution Reform Act 2003 made ALL adult prostitution and brothels a legal occupation in New Zealand but may have too many restrictions on brothels. In fact the government has online their "Brothel Operator Certificates." There are reasonable healths and safety requirements such as using condoms, local bylaws can restrict signage and brothel locations, and a provision to outlaw pimping. The Accident Compensation
