Pot Tax

While I'm working I've started listening to an audio CD about the history of the Great Depression and found many things eerily similar to what's going on today. http://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Man-Low-Price-Depression/dp/006180729X/ref=ed_oe_a

So far I've on the first CD:
1. The Stock Market crash in 1929 didn't cause the Depression it caused a Rescission. But it was Government action by the White House and (then new) Federal Reserve that turned a recession into a Depression.

2. Hoover wasn't a laise fare capitalist as we were taught in school. He talked the talk to the press but his policies were Big Government Republican (like W.)
