"Bootlegging is essentially tax evasion."

The example does not apply here. Bootlegging is still going on here in Texas.

You live in Bronte, your neighbor is going into San Angelo to buy beer. He picks up a few cases for you and someone else and ya'll pay him back when gets back into town. He is now a bootlegger. The tax was paid for state & federal.

Boy, the state line really is the end of the earth for you Texans, isn't it? I understand what you're saying and did hastily try to clarify my point (see #39).

Do you have any of the details on the guy Bush pardoned and what he was doing?
