Why Many Lives are Not Good

By Pamela "Pam" Elizondo

1. It is not in the best interest of anything to keep spending billions of tax payers' dollars yearly in the USA alone on weapons of destruction. The Lord said, "Thou shalt not kill" Taxpayers should not have to contribute to any part of a national debt that is not for their betterment. Defense spending isn't. Let's return that money to the middle class tax payers. Spend that money on creating a new working class.

2. It is not in the best interest to add trillions of dollars to "OUR" national debt most of the last five decades to listen for sounds from space or on space research until our earth and inhabitants have been taken care of properly. Let's divert space funding to putting people to work restoring our earth. Employed constituents pay taxes and consume, unemployed don't.

3.It is not in the best interest of all to give billions of dollars, added to "OUR" national debt, as charity to other countries, supposedly for their advancement. Charity begins at home. Those billions of dollars should be putting constituents to work everywhere restoring our earth, generating a healthy environment, more taxes, more consumerism.

4. It is not in the best interests of family values, society or the Earth to build more prisons, finance Judicial and police systems. 90% county jails, 60-80% state and federal prison inmates are there for nonviolent drug related reasons If prison building money was directed to putting people to work restoring the Earth at $15.00 an hour, a 30 hour week, a $300.00 monthly living stipend would equal $27,000 yearly. Less than it costs to keep one person in prison for a year. Employment, not imprisonment!

5. It is not in the best interest to waste tax payers' dollars on unneeded building and expensive technology.

a. Buildings: Federal Bureau of Land Management, Ukiah; New County Civic Center, Ukiah; New County Administration, Ukiah: State: New Secretary of State building, Sacramento.

b. Bridges: State: end of Covelo Road at Highway 101.

c. Roads: the multi million or more dollar balding of the mountain south of Leggett because two rocks fell.

d. Computers: State: Multi billion tax payers' dollars paid to Lockheed twice for non-functioning product. Lockheed should give the tax payers' back their money!

It is in the best interest of everything to quit wasting tax dollars and put people to work restoring the Earth with these funds! Our state representatives are criminal for wasting your money that way.
