Prop AA: The weed tax

[O2HeN2]

Divide and conquer. Something the 'pols are great at. If you don't like taxes, don't vote for it, even if this particular tax won't stick it to you personally.

Who knows, the next AA might be a 25% tax on ammunition. Do you really want to be standing there trying to convince some pot smoker that they shouldn't vote for a tax that doesn't affect them when you had shafted them exactly the same way a few years before?

Freedom is about allowing others to do things that you might not agree with. Your freedom to swing your arms should only end just before they reach my nose, not before.

Next time you check into a hotel and shake your head at a >10% "occupancy tax" realize that it was voted in by people that thought "oh, this won't affect me" because they're locals. Yeah, until you travel elsewhere and encounter taxes put in place by the same kinds of people.

Regulating weed is no harder than regulating alcohol, and alcohol gets by without huge taxes. Put grass under the exact same controls and be done with it. The pols are creating a problem that doesn't exist and then they're asking for taxes to solve said non-problem.
