Spitzer wants N.Y. to tax illegal drugs
Spitzer wants N.Y. to tax illegal drugs
If you can't beat it, tax it.

In New York, Spitzer proposed the drug tax in his 2008-09 budget as a way to deal with a projected shortfall, and in a memo said taxing drug dealers would raise $13 million in the coming fiscal year. The governor's office said the bill would contain strict secrecy requirements, so drug dealers who paid their taxes would not be incriminating themselves. picked by germz 8 months ago

The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution reads as follows:

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

So wouldn't taxing illegal drugs make them legal,

and if they were legal they wouldnt be taxed.

A paradox I say.
