Just don't forget that prohibition was a "grass roots movement" that became a constitutional amendment... we all know how that one worked out in the end.

If you choose to defend the status quo of the current tax system that way it's your choice. Thanks again for making yourself clear.

Prohibition was a grassroots movement and so - a few years later - what the repeal of Prohibition. So, you see, it happened twice in quick succession on the same subject.

That means it's a very succesful way to do things.

Yeah, and the 16th one turned out so much better.
