We have to make the Government smaller and we have to change the tax system to break any chains that people perceive they are under because the power the G man has on anything comes from those two issues. It is very hard to get peoples minds around that. I can’t think of one thing that can not be solved by those two things. All the intrusions in our lives come from the overwhelming power of the government and in particular the way taxes are assessed or people are let out of them. If every thing and every one were taxed the same then the power of these Deviants we have in congress would be diminished and we could actually trust the president for a change no matter what party was in charge.  Don’t like the war ok…by me, so like make them pay as they go and things will be very different. That is the way they had to do it back in the day. Today they just borrow the money from the Chinese and the Saudis. Mean while a report this week says 54 % of Americans receive significant resources from Uncle Sam. Student loans, Subsidies, get paid to not grow corn, or a crazy check it is all the same as a big part of peoples income comes from Uncle Sam and that must mean one hell of a wealth re-distribution and this money is borrowed as well or at least part of it because we have a huge Debt and a Deficit at the same time. 4/20 reminds us that the herb is not illegal by federal law. The fact is you just can’t get a tax stamp for it. Look it up.


In the early 1980's states in a new war on drug started implementing their own taxation programs. 24 States are known to have issued stamps for the collection of tax on marijuana. The laws do not legalize marijuana and tax stamps are rarely found on actual marijuana. Tennessee in 2005 became the latest state to adopt a marijuana tax program.

 

 The National Postal Museum has deaccessioned* a large holding of duplicate revenue stamps that include documentary stamps with a marijuana overprint that were never issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. In February 2005 approximately 5000 of these stamps were sold at auction to the highest bidder. Officially never issued for use these stamps were generated in response to marijuana's classification as a narcotic in 1937.

*Deaccessioning" is museum terminology for removing objects from the national collection. In this case it means destroying postal history to increase the value of what it sells.
