Alkyhaul serves as a good model for taxing peeps as they get the things they want.
What a plan:
Tax the selling of dope to citizens as a way to finance expansion of the welfare stste.
What’d they do, lite up a joint to celebrate all the new money they can spend double of?
Hippie TaxemLooper..... from green leaves to green paper for their beloved statists. They can’t tax lieberals enough as far as I’m concerned.
"the state"
pot heads and other medicated morons are putty in the hands of "the state"
FReedumb ALERT!
These “hopes” will crash and burn when the idiots of Colorado realize what the dope has done to their kids and the cost of rehab and lost work time. They will ask “Why and What were we thinking”? Sooner rather than later. Selling out to the government’s hunger for tax revenues was a stupid thing to do.
The state legislators of Colorado are hoping that by earmarking large sums to altruistic sounding anti-abuse programs, they won’t be prosecuted for laundering the proceeds from the sale of a Schedule 1 controlled substance under federal law. They saw “sanctuary cities” remain unmolested despite their illegality, and think this will be similar. Likewise, if financial institutions so much as touch a single cent, they become vulnerable to legal prosecution as well, subject to the momentary whims of politicians.
Just watch what happens when you can buy pot with EBT cards and Obamacare subsidies.
Look for the remainder of the states to become "enlightened" with respect to marijuana sales in short order.
Wow, tax drug sales to fund anti drug programs, hypocrisy much? Kind of like taxing cigarette sales to fund anti smoking and children's health programs and then making it illegal to smoke almost everywhere!
Wait until you see the bureaucracy they will grow off of that revenue — weed inspectors, THC monitors, smoke detectors, quality control testers, marijuana police, cannabis professors,... and then all the new agents and prosecutors to deal with black marketers and smugglers.
$100 million won’t be nearly enough — this will be interesting to watch.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
But Chickenpooper will have to raise taxes to build the roads destroyed by the floods and of course the $2B in welfare to illegals will not be touched so they will have to raise taxes “for the Kids” for schools.
One night I bought a bottle of wine that came to $24.99 and this (white) kid with his hair in dreads and one of those bun hats holding the dreads was working the counter. When I gave him a $100 bill to pay for the bottle - he goes (all Jeff Spicoli like)"ohwhoaaa" - ok"....I laughed a little because I knew he was hard pressed to figure out the change (the register was opened and he didn't ring me up). Before taking the money out of the register, he asks me "do you have 60 cents?" I'm thinking to myself, this guy is on another planet right now, what the heck does he need 60 cents for as a part to make my change!?
Pretty funny but I tell him "no, I have no change on me" he then proceeds to count my bills and I think he was seeing trails on each bill as he was handing them to me. He was able to get it right but I counted it twice to make sure and walked out of the store laughing to myself.
I can't help but think that store is gonna see some losses and, there are many more like this one that have employees like this.
And proves that it should be simple enough to destroy the Cartels main source of revenue, reduce violence and rid our forests and parks from the deadly toxins and booby traps of their vile operations...
Being the obnoxious guy I am, If I lived there, I’d grow some, just to not pay taxes by buying it.
