Crime Taxing

California has been talking about weather or not to legalize pot for years but for the most part California politicians have been against it. But now that California is broke they are thinking it is a good idea. Legalize pot and tax the hell out of it. This has made me wonder about what other things might not be against the law anymore...as long as you tax it. Depending on how broke and desperate California gets...will armed robbery someday be OK as long as you pay taxes on what you stole? How about burglary...no big deal as long as you pay taxes. Robbing a bank will be allowable as long as you steal a whole lot so you can be taxed big $$$$$. Ok , maybe not a bank since the government owns them all, but how about a casino. And what about all the people serving time for just pot possession... will they get a GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD as long as they pay the pot taxes. Bottom line is that I am not for legalized pot but I think if they are going to legalize pot, it needs to be for all the other arguments discussed for years pryor not for the sole purposes of tax dollars.
