Your proposal, while thought provoking, seems to be premised on a principle that says the government should buy out the tobacco farmers from the tobacco quotas they were given (by the government) years ago.
A party for the sake of a party? Who deserves that?

Not a one of my friends who's been bar mitzvahed would be able to tell the torah from an atlas. Their bar mitzvahs were just huge parties where they all made serious piles of cash. And I'm pissed about it. Catholics don't get jack. Nor do any other Christian demoninations. A couple of buddies I had in college had serious "mad money" accounts starting freshman year, and a load of it was bar mitzvah dough. Christianity blows. Its a lose lose proposition for the adherents on everything. The closest we poor Catholics get to bar mitzvah is first communion and confirmation. You're like, 9, I think, at first communion, so you get paltry gifts. Confirmation is a joke - no one even knows what it means, so nobody even throws a party, and consequently, you wind up with nothing more than the $100 your decrepit religious aunt from Connecticut mails you. Rome's gotta get this shit fixed.
