Snoop Dogg started a football league for inner city kids, and they're not allowed to play in the league unless they maintain a certain average. What he's doing is good because he's teaching them how to earn something. He's doing the "conservative" thing, if he did the liberal thing everybody would get to play. What would be the incentive for these kids to work hard then? If they don't have to get good grades to play, why would they? Same thing goes for government. If they don't have to work hard for their money, why would they?

Btw, I don't support politicians making more money especially in times like this. Why? Because they're costing me money.


NO! musicians shouldn't be making that much. when they do, I really question the artists sincerety and authenticity, two of the most important things about music (for me). especially considering that you have to be medicore to be popular and you have to be popular ro make the big bucks. therefore, you making the big bucks? you are mediocre
