Food Fascism and the Audacity of Dope (Smoking)

 Several states are now considering the legalization of marijuana so that they can tax it.  This November, Californians will go to the polls to vote on whether or not to legalize marijuana so that the Silly Solons of Sacramento can raise money for such wonderful pet programs like: How to buy a cell phone and providing health care for illegal aliens. 

Liberal-Fascist busybodies will usually justify just about any "sin tax" with homilies about America's moral imperative to help poor foreign wretches and the need to control a general population's daily agenda because the "little" fat people aren't smart enough to take care of themselves.  [NN: Never mind that the corrupt governments where illegal alien wretches come from have the ultimate responsibility for their citizens' well being.  Nor is it the American Taxpayers reponsibility to do for them what their corrupt governments won't do.  BTW, there's some really porky Liberal Democrats out there, like you Ed Schultz .  So before you Libs start pinging on the general citizenry about their weight, try losing a few lbs. yourselves.]   Liberal-Fascists love to be philanthropists with other people's money, especially if those other people are taxpayers. 

As an aside, according to Wikipedia, the origins of the slang term "joint" are as follows:

The word "joint" ultimately originated from French, where it is an adjective meaning "joined" (past participle of the verb joindre), derived in turn from Latin iunctus, past participle of iungo meaning "I join."



By 1821, "joint" had become an Anglo-Irish term for an annexe, or a side-room "joined" to a main room. By 1877, this had developed into U.S. slang for a (usually shady) "place, building, establishment", especially referring to an opium den. By 1935, "joint" was being used to refer to the hypodermic needles used to inject heroin and other drugs; this may have been influenced by the secondary meaning of "joint" in the sense of something done "in common" or shared. Its first usage in the sense of "marijuana cigarette" is dated to 1938.[citation omitted] Additional slang, or "street," terms for the word joint include "bifta", "jay", "doobie," and "fatty" (sometimes spelled "phatty").

Whatever the origins of the term "joint," financial problems for the State of California have turned dope into a potential cash crop for Sacramento's spendthrift politicians.  The Tax Foundation noted that Californians rejected spending propositions last year  by a margin of nearly 2 to 1. These propositions would have extended increases on the income, sales, and car taxes; shifted money from dedicated funds; and borrowed against lottery revenues. [NN: Hey Californicators, you're already holding on to our tax refund checks.  Don't you dare try to touch our Lotto winnings!]  The proposed taxes allegedly would have cut $6 billion off a $21 billion budget shortfall. 

The current California budget shortfall is the direct result of a decade-long unwillingness to  spend funds derived only from actual revenues.  Only Proposition 1F, which suspends pay raises for legislators, passed.  [NN: Hmm, there's a message there.]  According to a Reuters artcle about several states considering legalization of pot, the top marijuana-producing state [California] could raise $1.3 billion annually, according to the California Board of Equalization, which collects taxes.  The hook with the dope legalization is that the politicians cum drug pushers want to make money off of yet another sin tax.  Wouldn't it be a novel concept for the pol cats to spend only what is taken in from taxes?


Lest you think that these officious meddlers are only looking at legalizing pot to make money, they are also looking at junk food and soda pop taxes to raise revenues.  Well, the Food Fascists will self-righteously tell you things like the free market favors crappy food choices.   According to one study, a tax of about 18% could result in a yearly loss of 5 lbs. per person.  These same scientists also believe that U.S. government agricultural subsidies contribute to the problem.

"Sadly, we are currently subsidizing the wrong things including the product of corn, which makes the corn syrup in sweetened beverages so inexpensive."
The scientists also argue that agricultural subsidies should be used to make "healthful foods" such as locally grown vegetables, fruits and whole grains less expensive.  Why does this crap like the emphasis on locally grown foods and dictating people's diet remind me of Joe Stalin's collectivization of the Soviet agricultural production in the late 1920s.  What commissar will determine what a healthy diet is.  It probably will the same people that will be on the ObamaCare death panels.  Despite such a tax failing to be passed last year, the deaf, dumb, and dictatorial California legislature is determined to pour a "pop tax" down the financial throats of Californians.


Here's an article on the cause and effect of dope smoking and the fabled "muchies" side effect.  The author is a self described dope expert.  Anyway, knowing that no one is going to reach for a carrot stick or a V-8 when they get the munchies, the proposed taxes on marijuana and muchies (junk food) becomes yet another sinister plot by the Left to confiscate more of your hard earned money.  As we all know the word "sinister" comes from the Latin word sinistra.  According to WikiAnswers:


There are almost a half dozen English language words that include 'left' in their meaning, and that trace their origins back to the ancient, classical Latin. One example is the adjective 'sinister'. The word is defined as 'evil or suggestive of evil'. But it also has a meaning of 'leftwardness'. For the 'sinister events' on a family's heraldic shield are found on the left side. And the word 'sinister' indeed tracks back to the Old French 'sinistre', and on further to the earlier source in the Latin 'sinister', or 'left-hand'.
And this is the basic reason why Liberal Fascism and its Nanny State notions are the societal scourge that is destroying the United States from within.
