Florida Proposes Taxing Local LANs
Vellmont writes "From the state that brought you the 2000 presidential election debacle, now comes the proposal to tax your LAN. The Orlando Business Journal is reporting that the the state of Florida is thinking about putting a 9% tax on LANs within the state. Exactly what they will be taxing isn't clear, since the tax amounts to 9% of... something. Will taxing the electrical wires within your home be next?"
Phase One: Tax LANs
Phase Two: ???
Phase Three: Profit
Nice sig :)
I've a card to the local cannabis club, yes I am in california, and yes I can buy almost 20 types of pot, hash and various confections, from a legal source that reports and pays state tax.
Close, actually it was Tennessee. If Al Gore gave up and acted like a graceful loser, none of that nonsense would have ever happened.

BUT GORE WON!!!!!THE PINHEAD STOLE IT!!!True, Gore wimped out and conceded. BUT GORE WON!!!!
Gore did NOT win anything. Learn how the US voting system works. It is based on the Electoral College, not just the number of people who voted for a particular person. Plus, Gore would have killed off what is left of the US after Clinton screwed it all up.
So who exactly profits from marijuana being illegal? No one the government would care about.
You mean like the DEA, Private-owned Prisons, and state and local "drug task forces" that mainly just stake out grows in the area?
might wanna reconsider that thought.
