Hey, I only have a few dozen cases of illegal hootch out in my shed at this time and it's all spoken for.

Please take a look at the illegal alcohol busts reported by the FBI and ATF.

There's been no big reduction.

I want you to support your claim that the alcohol black market is "thriving."

Please take a look at the illegal alcohol busts reported by the FBI and ATF.

Gladly; direct me to them. (Remember: YOUR claim, YOUR homework.)

There's been no big reduction.

That doesn't even come close to establishing that it's "thriving" as you claimed.

From http://www.atf.treas.gov/alcohol/stats/95stats/95newa08.htm. This is your "thriving" black market? ROTFLMAO!
