[Blood of Tyrants]

How do I figure? Simple, I pay taxes on my income when I make it AND when I spend it. Drug dealers do not.

As I have said, I would put the drug gangs out of work and make drugs legal and let it be sold just like liquor. When was the last time two liquor dealers had a shoot out over turf? I'll give you a hint: it has something to do with Prohibition. The Drug Prohibition has created EXACTLY the conditions we sought to eliminate by repealing the 18th Amendment.

That would work. But that is also a separate issue. My point was that NST alone (without legalization) would not capture any tax from drug dealers. People who think it would are making an incomplete analysis of all the actors involved.
