MARIJUANA, THE GATEWAY TAX

If all the governor is wanting is more tax revenue to help bail the
state out of debt by legalizing marijuana, why doesn't he push to
legalize cocaine, hashish, opium, heroin and prostitution? Now we're
talking tax revenue, baby.

But what really irks me about most politicians today is instead of
spending less, all they can think of is taxing us more in oh so many
devious ways.

As we all know in our own daily lives, if we spend more than we bring
in, we are in serious financial trouble. As is our state.

So the governor and the Legislature should try to be more responsible
with what we have elected you to do. Spend less and be fiscally
conservative. No more entitlements. And no more taxes.
