    1. At least it’s a consumption tax, meaning you’d only pay for use. Income taxes are what’s disgusting.

  1. The Democrats would have gotten their blue wave had they made this a major part of their platform. It’s one of a few issues that unite much of the country, and would’ve driven a surge of young voters. Oh well. Hopefully Trump suppresses GOP voters enough in Georgia to give the Democrats the Senate. Maybe then we’ll have legalization actually discussed.
