The Federal government has already taken over many of the rackets introduced by organized crime: Fed.gov taxes tobacco products, alcoholic beverages making it a "partner" of those who engage in the manufacture and distribution of such products.

The gov. runs most state lotteries also known as the old "numbers racket" and engages in the "protection racket" with an agency known as the IRS.

Certain state governments also "regulate" as a partner, the growing and distribution of marijuana products. The only thing left for government to take over is prostitution - which it already has in Nevada.

Excise taxes are authorized by our original Constitution.

George Washington personally led the march to put down the Whisky Rebellion.
