Simply not paying attention huh. OK

I think my point was that is exactly what Frist is trying to do. He is out front as the champion of this cause, trying to get votes from the conservative (voting) majority. However, as has already been stated, if they plan on spending $2 mil. over 5 years to enforce this, they aren't going to enforce much. Then when he is president (in his mind), they come up with "This isnt working", and legalize/regulate/tax all of this.

Simple. Opinion.

That honestly wasn't directed at you specifically, more to the masses, sorry if it came across that way.

I do think you are reaching with that thought process though, if Frist knows he needs those votes to get elected, he couldn't turn his back on them and expect to get re-elected four years later.

Good point, but..
1. If these conservatives who help to put him in office or whatever think they may get a cut of taxes on $12 billion a year......
2. I also look at the timing of it all. It is passed now. There is a 9 month compliance period or whatever, taking us to next summer/fall. Then a 5 year period where they are going to 'enforce' this, taking us close to the end of the next (his first term?) presidential term.
Just wouldnt be at all surprised if sometime after that you see the law changed again and you see goverment regulation and taxing. Which is what we should be doing in the first place. We could use that money for crazy things like food, housing, healthcare etc.

Just my opinion
