Kathleen R. Jones: The argument for marijuana tax revenue happened to be refuted by Noam Chomsky in 'Understanding Power': "...the U.S. tax and transfer system creates a 28.5% reduction in the poverty rate whereas the tax and transfer system in all other industrialized countries decrease poverty rates by between 60 and 80%. The only exceptions being Britain, Australia, and Canada, whose tax and transfer programs still reduce poverty rates by appx. 50%." Chap. 10; footnote 28. Marijuana tax revenue strengthens the plutocracy while affordable housing continues to be denied. The American Eugenics Society was founded in California in the 1920's, funded in large part by Rockefeller and Carnegie. Connect the dots. Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger referred to " the weak and the unfit" as an "unnecessary burden on society" = socio-economic definition of eugenics. Nazi's scientists testified they learned eugenics from the Americans.
