Where's the advocacy for a national sales tax?

"The tax goes from 100 percent, meaning its illegal, to whatever the tax is."

he is saying that a fed tax is A O K. Isn't that the carrot that the druggies are using for the Feds to legalize it? Legalize it, but tax it? From his comments, a 99% tax is cool with him and all the bureaucracy that goes with that. F him. It is totally opposed to his stupid pledge.

Because that is where this issue is at now. If he is for legalizing, and goes into this totally idiotic statement....

At 25 percent on three levels of sales (on top of the state's standard sales tax of 8.75 percent), Colorado's marijuana tax is significantly higher than its levy on alcohol, but it's all the "same zone," says Norquist.

I think it's clear in the context of the article that he's talking about simply applying the state's tax to pot.

Nothing whatsoever about a national sales tax except in your fevered imagination.

The federal tax code considers state-approved dispensaries drug traffickers, even in the 20-plus states that have medical marijuana or full legalization. Norquist, Blumenauer, and Rohrabacher want to put an end to that.

No where in this piece does this filthy maggot cite any specific or all states on this new tax. Also, his pledge is signed by Federal elected officials. Not state and local. He has no power outside of I 495.

. Pot is illegal in the eyes of the Federal Govt'. So in order for it to be legal, the feds would have to jump on board the legalize and tax bandwagon.

In the version for state legislators, the signer pledges that:[6]
I will oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes.
