[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1321969"][QUOTE="Burnsy:1321949"]The Obama order on medical marijuana dispensaries is a farce though. Tons of dispensaries are being shut down, regardless. I'm not saying I support Romeny's views on medical marijuana. And tax cuts to the rich? Meh, that's a little flimsy. We don't know what their tax plan is. Again, not supporting Romney (or Obama for that matter) but I don't think your assessment of Romney's policies is fair.[/QUOTE] The assessment of Romney's tax plan is from a non-partisan study: http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/08/study-romney-plan-would-raise-taxes-on-95-of-americans.php There's always a certain amount of tax burden for the country, but the rich pay a certain share and the middle class a certain share; as a matter of basic arithmetic, when you cut rates on the rich way more and consequently the rich pay less of the tax burden than they had before, the middle class pay more of the tax burden than they had before. Worse yet, the rich get richer while everyone else stagnates, creating a hidden inflation tax on all the rest of us (items cost more but our wages stay the same). We already saw this under Bush for eight years, and we're still feeling a lot of the after-effects to this day. On pot, the difference in parties is huge; people used to get arrested, convicted, and thrown in jail by the federal government for possession, including cancer patients who died in jail. Check out the NORML website to see how extensive this was; for comparison, the number of people arrested, convicted, and thrown in jail by the feds over the last four years is 1 - that's 1 guy (and he's the guy in Colorado who went on a local news anti-pot hit piece to show the reporter how he had a huge growery twenty yards from a school - fucking idiot). The only dispensaries targeted are major dispensaries that by their own admission can't track their own supply to the extent they're not sure it isn't crossing state lines into states with different laws. Patients aren't targeted, users in decrim states aren't targeted, small groweries aren't targeted; not only does this change under Romney, but we go back to people with cancer dying in prison. If you smoke weed, voting SO makes a difference; I don't understand how anyone who smokes can live in states that have passed decrim over the last four years and think otherwise, because those votes and laws actually have matter in our lives. As soon as Obama was elected, my entire attitude towards pot relaxed, because the attitude of law enforcement relaxed; I would personally be VERY nervous under a Mitt Romney Presidency, and I hope everyone else who feels this issue has any relevance to their life does some more research on his views on drugs and particularly those of his advisers. Scary shit.[/QUOTE]
