Marijuana and Pole Tax To Balance Budgets

[Parsad]

I thought this article was funny.  It seems as though municipalities and states are coming up with innovative ways to finance their budget deficits.  A bill was proposed to tax marijuana...it was tabled for a later date.  Oakland has actually already started taxing medical marijuana.  Finally, a stripper "pole" tax of $5 per patron is being instituted.  Dig yourself into a hole and it's ok to straddle moral lines to get yourself out...that's how the government works my friends!  Cheers!
