Seems balancing the budget is a simple matter of legalizing drugs. Attacks the spend side through fewer prosecutions and incarcerations. Use the money from drug taxes to pay for treatment programs and attacking the revenue side of the budget deficit.
Are there really that many people in the country that are upright about drugs? I've never done a drug in my life but I certainly don't care if others do in a manner similar to alcohol.
- noarchy 13y agoDon't be so sure about balancing the budget on the back of drug users: http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/10/smallbusiness/marijuana-taxes/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/10/smallbusiness/marijuana-taxe... I've always thought that the tax argument was less than stellar. Are we really wanting to convince government that it should legalize drugs because of the money it could make, rather than having a society with more freedom? Is the purpose of a government to make money?
