Legislature proposes about 20 taxes and fees (soda, cigarettes, mj and more)

...The Democrats who control the Legislature have offered about 20 tax and fee measures, approving them in one committee vote after another.

...They have been forging ahead with proposals to tax Californians more — on every can of soda, cigarette, plastic grocery store bag and bullet. Strip club patrons and marijuana users could pay more, and drivers could be on the hook too.

Not sure how they plan to tax something that has no longer has a legal point of sale.

Delivery service or any other type of collective sale would still be expected to collect tax. But yeah if you're desperate for cash to support your social welfare state, probably not a good idea to send a lot of taxable revenue to the black market. Nobody said the government was smart... oh well the politicians who tell the dumbasses who vote for them do I guess.
