Senator Barbara Boxer Opposes Legalizing Marijuana in California

Dude, that's just what it is. You should be glad to have someone around that would say this but, if I were elected President (or whatever lower office), I'd promise people to solve their problems. I'd address thier concerns and say in an eloquent and feasable way what I'd do to serve them, and then if I were elected, I would sit on my hands and blame other people. If you are elected to solve a problem, and you solve it, there's no job security. At the level they're on it isn't even about the money, their income comes from a lot of other sources (granted senators pull about 150K), but it's more about the control over the system and contacts.

control over the system and contracts = money.

so it is about the money.

stop trying to convince us that prohibitionists are not in it for the money...
