Video Podcast for 3D Politics Live weekly show about the state of politics, culture, & the resulting public policies.
Oldham, & Van Risseghem delve into the stories that shape our Oklahoma way of life.
- You thought that the Liquor Prohibition was a brief social experiment of 100 years ago? Sadly It continues in Oklahoma and much of the USA, to this day. we talk about the excesses of govt. control of personal liberties.
Last week several dispensaries reported that an agent of the Oklahoma Tax Commission entered their local shops and demanded payment of Tobacco Taxes on some Marijuana Medicines; in addition to the Retail State & Local Sales Tax, and the Marijuana Excise Tax.
Noted Cannabis Industry Attorney, Ron Durbin, published the demands to consumers and shops across the state and asked citizens to express their input on the agency-created requirement.
Today Durbin posted the following update to his clients as well as the advocates, patients, and Cannabis business proprietors.
The voters directed that cannabis medicines would be subject to a 7% tax on retail sales. But the OTC perverted the intent by declaring that the text really meant to call it an excise tax and then the OTC declared that a full state & local sales tax must also be charged. This more than doubled the effective tax rate.
- We are now in our 12th annual celebration of the consumer's best holiday of the year. It's the weekend when apparel purchases are sold to consumers without the state & municipal govts. imposing(extorting) a tax of 8-10% in most locales.
The more disciplined consumers are beginning to catch on and save their scheduled shopping until the annual holiday. In preparation for the event, the Oklahoma Tax Commission has published a set of frequently asked questions. We've posted them in this article, at the bottom of the page.
Imagine the impact on global markets when the US Dollar spikes in money market exchanges by nearly 10%. The national economy gets a boost but exports suffer, as a result. This event has no such downside except in it's impact on sales prior or after the tax holiday weekend.
Some of the floor debate over the 2007 law was based on the cost of back-to-school shopping, which had gotten outrageous when many public schools mandated a dress code which required school uniforms without exception.
