California: Oakland Voters Approve Nationâ??s First Marijuana Business Tax

[boaz]

... im not against the tax per-se ( ive always wanted to say per-se, cool soundin word per-se).

if i had more time i would post the link to the southpark vampire episode, it is f'in hilarious . . ., per se . . .

i see the need in cali for the revenue, if only everyone else would, but $18 per $1000, may only be 1.8% but other buisnessess only pay $60 per 50,000, thats 1.2%. what im not clear on is this, the $1.20 per $100,000. do you only pay the $60 fer just the first $50,000 then at every $100,000 only pay $1.20? so if my buisness makes $100,000 do i pay $121.20 or do i pay $61.20? big differance in the tax. but ragardless why a differance?

also can you run a non-profit and get away from the tax man?

yeah, i was wondering about that, too, i don't think they were clear about that. I was assuming everything besides food out there has like a four or five percent sales tax on it, but maybe not.

anyways, i say, just legalize it already, Oakland. Arnie won't care. The messiah has too much to lose to f with Cali. just go for it. :jointsmile: easier said than done, i'm sure. this would give some real time $$$ data for the California voters to look at before the election in '10. :greenthumb:
