An appeals court in Tennessee has ruled that the “crack tax” is not constitutionally valid. The “crack tax” is exactly what it sounds like – a tax (with penalty and interest, if applicable) on the possession of crack and other “unauthorized substances” under Tennessee law.
The court ruled that “the statute is arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable and, therefore, invalid under the Tennessee Constitution.”
Which leads me to wonder… what about the pimp tax? I’m guessing it’s a no, too.
