Legalize It and Tax the Hell Out Of It

This article is dedicated to anyone who’s made the proposal, “They should legalize it and tax the hell out of it.” If you have any even mildly liberal friends, you’ve no doubt heard them utter this phrase, often in reference to something like marijuana. Translation: I don’t really care about the issue, and I like the idea of legalizing it only because it increases tax revenue and control over those indulging.
