I branded bootleggers criminals not farmers unless they took up arms and assaulted federal officials. Get your slanders straight.

Bootleggers were selling booze which was illegal without a license and were criminal just as crack sellers are criminals today. We don't get to pick and choose which laws are acceptable to us much as you and Mr. Galt might like to.

----- Justi boyo, that takes todays cake for biizarro reasoning..
The feds created a 'crime'; -- of making untaxed booze.. -- And you come rushing romantically in, defending the cause of what you see as 'justice'..
- When all rational folk see an unconstitutional taxation scheme which was a bald infringement of personal liberty.

Daft. Those farmers making whiskey were not "bootleggers" until congress decreed them to be guilty of breaking a 'law' that was unconstitutional.. One that prohibited them from making whiskey..

There you have it. -- You believe our constitution gives the states & feds the power to prohibit property by licensing & taxation. I don't see such a power enumerated.

We don't get to pick and choose which laws are acceptable to us much as you and Mr. Galt might like to.

Who does if not 'we' the people?
-- Obviously, you are of the opinion that hamiltonian elites have that power..

You will learn otherwise, at some point..
