The Rape Of American Taxpayers

This is their plan. Working Americans have to pay for illegal alien needs and wants don't they? That money has to come from somewhere. Just wait until it catches on. They say we should ingest less sugar: Sorry. It's not up for personal choice. They'll simply price you out of the market. Only really stupid people will believe that it stops here as these irresponsible moronic communists out of control spending jackasses run the government. And you don't think someone will use these examples below to apply taxes to every other thing you do? We are already near taxed to death on everything. But that doesn't stop them from adding more and more taxes on what is already taxed. Where is your say so in this? Aren't they supposed to be working for you? Well I guess they are in a way. They're working hard to take away the rights of American citizens. They love Communism.

Marijuana Tax in New Jersey? It Could be $42 an Ounce
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/19/nyre ... ation.html

Gov. Philip D. Murphy and Democratic legislative leaders in New Jersey have reached an agreement that could place the state on a path to legalizing recreational marijuana this year if they are able to win enough support in the state legislature. So what will the result be?

Black market will thrive if NJ puts $42-an-ounce tax on legal weed (No sh1t Dick Tracy) Remember prohibition?)

These morons think that raising legal tax will make you want to purchase it legally as opposed to purchasing it much cheaper from someone selling it illegally. How stupid are these people?? Yes they are incredibly stupid. Catch this:

Pot tax rate key to driving down illegal market in CT (Really? REALLY?? Some rocket science going on here)
https://www.ctpost.com/local/article/Po ... 763189.php

On Monday, Rep. Jason Rojas, D-East Hartford, who chairs the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee, which is writing this part of the law, said its proposed legislation would set an effective 20 percent tax rate on pot, comprised of a 9.35 percent sales tax and an excise tax of $45 per ounce on cannabis buds and $13.50 per ounce on the rest of the plant.

These idiots believe you will pay MORE for government pot rather that buy cheaper pot illegally. (Right on Mortimer.)

Alaska Marijuana Tax
http://tax.alaska.gov/programs/programs ... aspx?60000

Effective Jan. 1, 2019, sales and transfers of marijuana are subject to new tax rates. Mature bud/flower are taxed at $50 per ounce; immature or abnormal bud is taxed at $25 per ounce; trim is taxed at $15 per ounce; and clones are taxed at a flat rate of $1 per clone.
Ballot Measure 2, the act to tax and regulate the production, sale, and use of marijuana, was passed on Nov. 4, 2014. Pursuant to the ballot measure, Alaska will levy a tax on the marijuana sold in Alaska. The Tax Division will collect the marijuana tax from licensed marijuana cultivation facilities.

From Pocahontas aka Lieawatha
Democrat presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren wants to use federal excise taxes to reduce gun and ammunition sales.
Her gun control, made public in August on Medium, shows Warren believes the current ten percent excise tax on firearms is too low. She wants to raise that tax to 30 percent while increasing the tax on ammunition to 50 percent.
Because excise taxes are paid directly by the consumer–the taxes are added to the price of the goods–this means a $500 gun would immediately cost $515 and the price for a $20 box of ammo would immediately rise to $30.

Pocahontas aka Lieawatha needs to study some American crime history

And what did Prohibition do? It created the illegal booze market, gang wars & the Mafia
And what did banning Marijuana do? Created drug warlords, illegal drug markets, and it resulted in 10's of thousands of murders
And what will raising taxes on the 2nd do? Create more illegal weapon markets, more gang wars, and unregistered weapons that will inhibit law enforcement.

Don't think so? Then you are grossly ignorant of history. As for myself I know that government cures cause incurable disease.
