Do you want to hear my plan for health care for every American?

Legalize Marijuana and tax the hell out of it.
This way all you conservatives won't have to shell out any money AND you get free health care.
No thanks necessary.

Oh, Skippy! Nice rebuttal. It seems a remedial science course is in store for you.

Now there is a liberal idea that even I can live with. I will thank you anyway, you deserve a hearty bravo, and I will also throw in a salmon.

I like it!

Good one!

While we're at it, let's tax the heck out of SUV owners as well since they are excessively contributing to global warming.

MMM, thats a damn good idea! It would put a few people I know out of business and force them to get a job.

considering they have now banned smoking cigarrettes in your own home, car, front yard. and in one place ANY outside place how would legalizing marijuana help when you couldnt smoke it anywhere

Why would anybody pay for legalized pot at a high rate and a high tax (no pun intended) that is likely inferior quality when they can just buy it on the street and get good quality at a fair price and no tax?

Well it sure beats the Bush health care plan.

It wont be enough to fund health care but it is a good idea, have a star.

There will never be enough taxed money to pay for "Free" Socialized Healthcare.

There are simply too many Americans. Government run Industries' costs get blown way up beyond what it would cost in the private sector, as shown time and time again.

Government will want to force us to live to their standards of life, in order to receive their services, which means smoking will be out... uh oh, how we gonna pay for it then?

We will become slaves paying for our own oppression.

America is uncivilised for not having a health care plan, the only advanced country not to have one.

I'd support this plan. However, I have no source of data to guesstimate how much money such a tax could yield compared to the costs we face. Still, I'd support it. You could lump prostitution in their too.

Smokes if you got em...

There are 2 parts to your suggestion.

1. Legalize Marijuana
2. Tax the hell out of it

Number 1 is possible. Number 2 will not be feasible, because over-taxing something will make it go underground and make it illegal if someone doesn't want to pay taxes.

So, if you want to tax it, it cannot be treated any different from tobacco.. it should not be exorbitantly taxed.

No

global warming is fake, and your idea is about as bright as you are
