Questions if pro-pot voters pay the tax

I know there are thousands of voters in Washington state who voted for the legalization of marijuana.

I know there are a small portion of that group that signed petitions to get the issue on the ballot.

How many of you who will proudly thump his chest and loudly proclaim, “I am a liberal, I am a liberal, I am a liberal…” and then continue to purchase their weed from the black market, unwilling to pay the so much promised for tax revenues?

Please, tell me again, who is not being taxed “fairly”?
