TIME TO HELP THE HOMELESS. NOW

Re "L.A. County putting pot tax on ballot," July 13

Since the county wants a 10% tax on "medical" and recreational 
marijuana and related products, then why aren't all prescription and 
over-the-counter medications also being included?

A 10% tax on the gross receipts of the big pharmaceutical companies 
and retailers would produce a hell of a lot more revenue than just 
taxing companies that produce and distribute marijuana and "related" products.
