You'd think that the realization, that you'd need to subsidize or reduce taxes on a bunch of people, if you jacked up the taxes on others, would be enough to make people rethink their plans.

nope

What they would like to do, is jack up the taxes & costs of living so much, that a large portion of the population requires gubmint handouts/subsidies to live. If the welfare class isn't large enough to vote them in and not enough new mooches are born or imported, they must make their own, brand new dependants.

Poof! Welcome to the U.K. !

Why didn’t they just legalize pot.
