When liberals want money, they rather someone else pay for it...

When a law comes up and asks them for money? The answer is NO!

Colorado approves pot taxes, but turns down a nearly $1 billion income tax increase

Exactly what does this have to do with liberals? The tax on pot will be used to fund & support a strong regulatory system. And this is liberal how?????

Dems love tax increases, and they love big tax increases even more. Their whole focus is increasing government revenue and power.

It's really that simple.

No, this has nothing to do with liberals. This is all about funding a regulatory system. the worst thing that could happen in any state that legalizes pot is to have insufficient funds to regulate & control access. It's just common sense if you want to keep it out of the hands of minors & is something we already have for alcohol.

Funny how many people want to politicize everything. Please note that those "liberals" voted down the amendment 66 school funding taxes because we all believe our taxes are already high enough. Is that liberal too?

Anyone who says that Dems act in a cohesive way with one focus in mind is just as stupid as someone who would say the same thing about conservatives. It's too bad we don't have an IQ captcha on this site.

Maybe this should have been titled "turning the tax to fund the pot regulatory system into a liberal blame game FAIL"

Your viewpoint is really that simple, as is the case with many conservatives, but the issues are really much more nuanced and complex.

No, its really not the complex, that world really is black and white, not grey.

this notice that everything is very very complex is very moronic, the world is not the movie inception.
