We can not just expect the rich to pay more, nor can we cut entitlements on those who need the governments help in a time of need. What we need are new, currently non existing taxes on the level of personal choice to those who would more than likely not change their purchasing habits of the product used. Legalized marijuana is key in this petition, as it would end up saving billions in our current 'drug war' as well as create new revenue. In my eyes, I think legalizing the plant would be twice as profitable as our government currently thinks, through revenue and reduction. If we were to create "personal choice" taxes, the idea could be spread to the fast food industry, tobbacco, and alcohol.
