Portland’s Progressive Pot Proposal is Pure Portlandia-like Parody

Portland’s progressives pushed for pot legalization. They got it. Other progressives seized on the opportunity to whine about second-hand smoke and institute a tax on pot that would go towards some nebulous clean air act and health initiatives.

This is causing potheads to drive their “earth raping machines” outside the tax jurisdiction to avoid paying more for their pot, which completely negates the reason the progressives came up with the tax in the first place.

  1. (sigh) Libtards never learn. The more you (try to) tax something, the more people will find ways around the tax laws, and the less revenue and control you ultimately have.

    It’s also called The Immutable Law of Unintended Consequences.

  2. And of course, the liberal dipshits have no concern for those of us that are confronted with the multitude of low-life that migrate to the pot fields for work. They drive through the neighborhood like gypsies in the night looking for opportunities of nefarious behavior.

  3. This is great. The pot growers who were undoubtedly leftists are becoming capitalists. I have always said that a leftist is just someone who has failed at being a capitalist. As soon as the leftist finds a way to make good money they stop being a leftist and become a capitalist.

  4. The difference is that the “capitalist” EARNS his money, whereby the “socialist” has to have gov’t connections to take money from the “capitalists” and award it to the “socialist.”

    As an example: HRC is worth, literally, hundreds of millions of dollars – every single one through corruption, influence peddling, graft, and extortion – she has never EARNED a single dollar – never invented a widget – never improvised on some earlier invention – never worked a built a building – never washed a car – never plunged a toilet – never fixed an A/C unit – in short, never worked a day in her entire, sordid, hateful life.

    YUGE difference.

  5. Well, she did work for the rose law firm but, so there’s that.
    Pretty much everything she has touched she’s either profited from or stole from and left a bunch of crap and mysterious deaths behind her.
