I’ll bet there’s way more tax money being stolen than whatever the Feds could ever collect from home distilleries. Go after the stolen money.

Great old song Copper Kettle.
Get you a copper kettle, get you a copper coil
Fill it with new made corn mash and never more you’ll toil
You’ll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling in the pale moonlight.
Build you a fire with hickory, hickory, ash and oak
Don’t use no green or rotten wood, they’ll get you by the smoke.
You’ll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling in the pale moonlight.
My daddy he made whiskey, my granddaddy he did too
We ain’t paid no whiskey tax since 1792
You’ll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling in the pale moonlight.
Version by Bob Dylan on Self-Portrait.
