I’ve found it very rare musicans who are also celebrities say anything intelligent regarding current event politics, and Jay Z has impressed me today. With endless debates over economic policies and government spending, taxes taxes taxes, cuts cuts cuts, Jay Z says (in so many words) “People in privileged places would be okay paying higher taxes if they knew where it was going. There should be open book keeping on where our taxes went.”

What a concept. If only the government were willing to disclose that information, we would trust them so much more. That is very true, except for the fact that tons of our money goes nowhere, and it would be so fucking shocking to the American population how much money gets wasted or put into the wrong hands for things that are not “the current welfare” If the government did have open books, the books would be crooked, and not everything would be written in there for us to see. Not that that’s not normal for a government, but I would be willing to bet less money would go to bullshit it we did have an open bookkeeping system on TAXES! The largest collection of money in the United States.

Man…haha, I’ll keep dreaming though. That’ll be the day.

   - nice to see a Black rapper with the ability to speak about more than music.
