[facepalm] and what I said wasn't an absolute ... in fact it was a rebuttal to a somewhat absolutist argument.Quote:

Why would you vote based on your perception of how other people treat you? Other people are a part of the equation. The reason we all get to vote is so we can all voice our individual opinion. The question on the ballot is addressed to each individual. This question asked, "Justin, do you support raising annual taxes by $70,000,000 ANNUALLY, and beyond, through the taxation of of marijuana at 15% and an additional tax at 10%?" You answered "Yes." I don't remember the option of "Yes, but only because I am angry at what I perceive another group of people to be like." It's nice that your vote came with a complicated emotional response, but the message was lost when the answers "Yes" and "No" were printed on the ballot.Quote:

A: Yes.
That is the message you delivered today. Doesn't matter now, as this ship has sailed.
^^^ and don't forget that a "Yes" vote also means they can raise it without having another vote from the people.

If it is any consolation, they can only raise each part of the tax up to a maximum of 15%. It is at 25% now. Interested to see how these all pan out.Quote:

If they want to jam things down our throats I hope we return the favor and not only repeal these terrible gun laws but make it easier to get guns and full autos and have guns in schools. Let them spend hours writing up testimonies only to be ignored. Let them spend their money only to be pissed on. Let them waste their breath, let them get their blood pressure up. Let them feel helpless as they Dont get what they want. Then take away their bs entitlement programs. Create a new sector of tax police to go after their assets if they avoid paying the pot tax.
That is essentially what they did with these guns laws. Its payback time.
"Hey! Let's make pot a taxable commodity. That's an awesome idea. Then I can legally buy pot."
BLAMMO! Your wish has come true.
That's not the point. You are either all in for liberty, or not. You Sir, must be the latter. You can't split hairs using the actions of others as an excuse.
