Waka Flocka Flame for USA President
 

Waka Flocka Flame is said to be running for president in 2016.

If you don't know who Waka Flocka Flame is, he a rapper with many tattoos.

Here are his presidential claims:
-Legalize marijuana
-Dogs not allowed in restaurants (even for the blind)
-People with 13+ sized feet cannot walk in public
-Education should be focused on "reality needs" rather than actual education
-No suits allowed in congress - only laid-back attire
-Minimum wage increase to $15/h
-Higher respect for women

Unfortunately for him, he is only 28 and must be 35 to become president.
This doesn't mean that he won't run in 7+years from now, however, and I almost feel doomed that our country will vote for him in the future as a joke, and he may actually become president.

This is the second time he has announced running for president.

Education for "reality needs"?

No dogs allowed in shops?

My size 13 shoe really wants to meet this guy's face.

#Support lol

No need to feel doomed, your vote doesn't really matter. We have something called an electoral college.

-Legalize marijuana
Why make smoking a plant that makes people happy illegal?
-Dogs not allowed in restaurants (even for the blind)
Take out the blind part, and that's not a bad idea
-People with 13+ sized feet cannot walk in public
Sorry Wocka, that's dumb.
-Education should be focused on "reality needs" rather than actual education
Tell me when you've needed to balance an equation whilst sitting in your office?
-No suits allowed in congress - only laid-back attire
We all make descicions better when we're relaxed & comfortable.
-Minimum wage increase to $15/h
Amen.
-Higher respect for women
How is this bad?

I know some of my replies aren't very justified, but let's be honest his ideas aren't that bad.
Still better than any politician in the UK imo.

"If you don't know who Waka Flocka Flame is, he a rapper with many tattoos."
great description.

It's not the equations that are important. We can easily search them on Google. It's giving people the necessary knowledge of plugging in variables to make the correct question true.
Without the logic to be able to do that, our society will quickly become unintelligent in many fields of study and even work force.

And become unprofessional? Next you know, congress will be full of teenagers wearing snapbacks and shouting YOLO.

Inb4 prices rise to fit the new minimum wage, giving businesses chances to actually raise those prices beyond the correct scale ratio since no one is going to do the math to find what the new prices should be.
I.E 7.25/itemPrice should = 15/itemNewPrice
If the above is not equal, but the new price is higher, you're going to get ripped off. But who's going to take tabs on price changes every day and then spend time calculating that?
We all know businesses will up the prices and change the economy.

One could argue.

Thanks !
I had no idea who he was either, until today.
So I just looked him up on Google quickly.

Chemists balance equations all damn day. So do accountants.

Of all the rappers you could have chosen, you picked the worst.

Bumping the minimum wage up to $15 will raise wages for 28 million workers. Since many of those workers will turn around and spend that money, that is a huge boost for the economy.

Also, a higher minumum wage wouldn't impact prices much at all, in fact if the minimum wage was raised to $15 an hour, the cost of a $16 DvD from Walmart would only increase by about 2 cent more. Does that really bother you?

And finally, if prices of things rose would it really be us getting ripped off? Or would it be minimum wage workers getting paid decently for doing hard work.
You could say that if they're minimum wage they don't have to work hard, but regardless of if you're a lawyer or a toilet cleaner an hour is still the same amount of time for each person and you're both doing the same amount of work.

It also means less money for the company as a whole, and that they need to be making more money in order to support all of their new workers or run risk of going bankrupt in a few years. The sad fact of the matter is that it wouldn't lead to more people being hired. It would probably lead to more layoffs and harder conditions on workers who are expected to do the tasks of the people who were impacted by budget cuts.

Also, it doesn't mean that people are going to turn around and spend money at the same company they work for. You can be a worker at a Coca-Cola plant and only buy products made by Pepsi, so there is no guarantee that the increased wages companies are required to pay employees will be returned.

But the amount of training involved is different. A lawyer and a mechanic have different skill sets than most people who work for minimum wage, so they make a lot more than a janitor would.

Also, granting a minimum wage increase for a job like that doesn't mean the person is necessarily working any harder than before. They'd just be compensated more to do the same job. (Unless they're given more tasks and responsibilities to match the wage increase, which would be likely to happen with any company forced to pay its workers more.)

Raising minimum wage is a bad thing. It hurts smaller businesses. It makes them hire less people, because they can't afford to pay people $15 hour. So, hurt the small business, and you hurt the middle class. Hurt the middle class, and you weaken the country.

Minimum wage should be lowered to $2

Raising the wage will increase inflation in the economy.

I wear size 16.5 US , **** you Waka Flaka Flame:(

Of course he wouldn't know that because that topic probably isn't covered with education in "reality needs".

lol ikr I didn't even need to see the name waka flocka to know who she was talking about.



Wait until the Mexicans turn TX into a democratic state, the Republicans will get rid of that system in a heartbeat.

The Republican Party is already dead, especially when you have people like Chris Christi, Sarah Palin, John McCain and others representing them. Ron Paul made sense, and even his son isn't a bad candidate, too bad the Republican Party won't support him.
If the Republican Party doesn't get their act together, I guarantee we will have crazy Hillary in office, and we will continue to be laughed at by the rest of the world.

Salty.

Technically he picked himself

Waka Flocka Flame for USA President
 

For a musician do you know how expensive it is to advertise on a national level? This guy just got free advertisement from every news source. Genius.

Wait, you have to be 35+ to become president? What a stupid rule.

It's a good rule. Deperare a us from countries like North Korea :p

You can't believe how much I've been hearing this around my school, its ridiculous at this point... WAKA FLAKA FOR PREZ 2015

This reminds me of the dude who ran for president with a shoe on his head.

He threw glitter at people.

And there was that guy that ran for president from jail and got like 125,000 votes

That is legendary

What's stupid about it? It gives you enough time to have some political leadership experience before being eligible to become the president. I don't see anything stupid about that.

also ITT people who have absolutely no idea how economics work.

Honestly I prefer a few of the current Republic candidates over anyone in the Democratic party right now. Both sides look grim for the next election though as is.

It's not about 'political leadership experience'... lol.

But actually imagine if he became a contender for the Presidency

So many people would vote for him just as a joke haha including me.

Ron Paul is crazy, Rand Paul is an outright liar, and his son just got busted for a DUI.
Haha, true.
What, in 2022?

Or people voting for Clinton because she is a woman. That's not funny, it's sad. Pretty sad. But yea, I think elections in America are a pretty big fail since the Bush incident.

They still are better than Hilary and all the other candidates running

he has to be 35? Let's get him in a position with not such ageist limits. I support waka flocka for president, just sounds awesome. What could happen? The worst is mass general population imprisonment. I don't think flocks would do that. And I doubt he'd stop me from growing a garden and collecting rain water, which the governmet I place already has limited garden production and banned water collection ( not as much on ground wells, though) in most states.

Flocka-Gucci twenty sexteen yuh mofs

Hilary didn't tip at a fastfood restaurant after paying over $10, therefore she is a terrible person and shouldn't be president.
Kidding, but this is an actual news story

anyone wanna speak aboot getting harper out of power
Eh?

Lol if i could i would vote for him just for lols

Highly disagree because I don't think 'political leadership' is or should be considered necessary for the presidency.

Idk I think that's kinda a strawman put out by the GOP. A very small minority might, but a lot of people who vote for her based on her gender will likely be doing so, not just blindly because she is a woman, but because she plans to implement certain policies that support women. It's like how in 2008/12 lots of African Americans voted for Obama. They didn't just do it because he was black; they would have voted democratic anyways because democrats tend to better meet their objectives in society.

I voted for Pedro because he was Mexican.

Napoleon Dynamite reference. Nice one :D

Bush did 9/11

What we need is a new election system, as this one is slowly becoming capitalistic in a sense.

I wouldn't mind Hillary becoming president and the fact that she is a woman and gives something for little girls to look up to is great in my eyes. Also not republican > republican

The republican party is probably going to crumble soon if they don't stop alienating every demographic except rich white males. They are increasingly becoming like neo-confederates, and the fact that they have let in so many religious radicals is going to hurt them in the long run because they have started to dictate the republican agenda. Back when Abraham Lincoln was a republican, the entire party was way different than it is now. It's starting to go in the opposite direction because it has mostly been hijacked by people who only represent and fight for certain types of people, not everyone.
It's not becoming capitalistic, it is capitalistic. Politicians have to raise money for their campaigns, which is provided partly by ordinary people, but mostly by smaller companies and large corporations. However much they raise is what they get to spend on ads, and then they carpet-bomb smaller communities with them. Unfortunately, a lot of people vote for whoever advertises the most without knowing who they actually are or what they stand for. (Especially if it's for jobs like Mayor, City Commissioner, Comptroller, Judge, Sheriff, etc.) And that leads to a good deal of people getting elected who often don't represent the needs of their citizens very well.

Elections are basically bought now, ever since the Supreme Court made their decision in the Citizens United case to allow companies to spend unlimited amounts of money on financing campaigns, and it has led to a plethora of major issues.

You mean to tell me the Kardashians ain't good role models?


Edit:
It's not just starting, that shift happened a long time ago.

Lincolns republicans turned Democrats after the depression thx to FDR. After the black community turned Democrat thx to FDR, a lot of the old democrats(southern whites) turned republicans. When L. Johnson got the civil rights act passed he finished what FDR started by turning the last remaining southern whites into republicans.


Hint: Democrats were pro small government during FDR's time, but the depression allowed FDR to expand(big government) the government and provide for the states/people in need(social programs). The republicans were pro big government, but chose not to help the states because they wanted the states to figure it by themselves(didn't work out quite well)


Obviously a lil more complicated than this, but pretty much in a nutshell.

Glad to see someone else who actually knows their history. :D

Our votes don't count, so it doesn't even matter. The electoral college will never vote in Waka Flaka Flame.

Unless we riot. Unless so many people rise up with the intention to kill anyone that doesn't vote for walla flakA. Unless it actually happens. Unless the electoral college makes a clone of flakA that is apart of the tea party to battle the real flakA for a seat at the table.

Unless the oligarchy is torn down

Phew.

My size 13 shoes feel safe.

It's a possibility.
With what I assume the new generation will be growing to be, everyone in the electoral college would be required to wear snapbacks and shout "#YOLO" before each session of business.
Waka Flaka Flame will become world leader and change US Currency to "Swag points" for change and "Yolo points" for dollars.
To earn money, we'll need to jump off a building for 1 Yolo point, or off of a bridge for 5 Yolo points.
