I understand ya’ll about taxing and tax money spent to tax. It is very interesting about untaxed legal alcohol. We do not have bright thinkers on the hill. I have a strong stand on the fact that these criminals are paying a state tax for their products but not paying the local tax portion. Some of the crimes that come from their business affect the local community; we should be able to keep some of that tax right here in the neighborhood where the products were sold. I was just adding to what I think is the worst and very wasteful piece of legislation our state has.

Has anyone actually bought one of those stamps yet?

Doesn’t a tax stamp on your unauthorized substance make it an authorized substance?

Say Uncle is quite right about the difference between revenue measures and this.

I’m with you on the nonsense of seizure of property.

I was reading just last week that marijuana was the number one cash crop in the state, and in many others. If it were legal to grow and sell – heaping gobs of tax revenues.

And I still am confused as to how you can get a tax stamp for non-tax-paid liquor and then still be in posession of non-tax-paid liquor.

Because those taxes generally are meant to be revenue measures and are taxes. This measure is just another means to confiscate property in the name of unpaid taxes.

All taxes are levied “without due process of law.” Why aren’t you more upset about taxes on legal substances?
