Smoke pot, tax the rich!

Proposition 207, the Smart and Safe Arizona Act,
is to legalize and tax cannabis for adult use.

Proposition 208, the Invest in Education Act,
is to impose a 3.5% income tax surcharge on high earners
and invest the revenue generated in education.

2. These are two props that I intend to vote yes on. My only disappointment is that

there will be something like a 16% sales tax on recreational MJ --- IMO liquor should be taxed at the same rate as recreational MJ.

3. Great idea.

Starting immediately, we can expect remarkable levels of obfuscation and dishonesty to hit the media, as has happened every time something like 207 and 208 is brought up to a vote.
(Full disclosure: I support both, though I don't use weed and my children are in their Forties, now! I don't have a dog in either fight.)

4. Already seeing ads against 208

Same old Chamber of Commerce bullshit:
"Your taxes will explode! Small businesses will disappear!! Medical insurance becomes unaffordable!!!!"
OH THE HUMANITY!!!
