Taxes are passed by the legislators you voted on and the president or governor you voted on. If you did not vote, you have no one to blame but yourself. If you don't like a tax, you are still required to pay it. But consider voting for someone who may repeal the tax.
It's illegal. If they find it, they seize it and burn it, not tax it. --NO. the person asking was refering to IF weed was legalized.. and the answer is yes bc IF or WHEN weed was ever legalized the government would make sure they had a way to tax weed before they made it legal.
You mean remain illegal? I believe marijuana should be legalized because it does more good then bad. No one has died from it, an it can bring in billions in tax revenues.
That privateer was no more than a legalized pirate.
I have to qualify this by first saying I think it should be legalized, and I do not believe it is really a "gateway" drug. But I think the government does not want it legalized because it will be almost impossible to control and tax - tax being the operative word. People are already growing their own. If it was legal, there would be no stopping that. The government would want to control production and distribution so they could account for sales and tax them. They know it won't happen that way, and are probably behind the negative press on the subject for that reason.
