"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
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.
