I read an article in the Irish Independent this morning about farmers in The Netherlands who were making a killing by scamming the VAT tax and selling strawberries on the black market. They got busted because they were registering all of their luxury cars in Luxembourg, which is a well-known tax dodge that alerted the authorities. When one of these previously-humble farmers went to register his new private jet, they were rolled up.
Big government just makes bigger opportunities for organized crime, by either conventional racketeers or the political type.

Italy kind of reminds me of Mexico... the government is so entrenched in organized crime that they allow these criminal enterprises to go on unabated, taking superficial action every-so-often to keep the population brainwashed into thinking all is under control...
And Chicago is a perfect example of this right here!
