If a tax is based on the honor system, people will always find ways to evade them.

This reminds me of the old Soviet Union. Stealing from the state was a greater offense than murder. Embezzlers faced the death penalty.

In nearby NJ I’ve bought cigarettes with stamps in Cyrillic lettersIn 2013, I was buying cartons of Marlboro Reds in the Republic of Georgia for $6. Smuggling them over here is easy. They're not illegal drugs. You don't have dogs at customs sniffing them out.

I’ve crossed into Canada where you can bring 1 carton per person with you. In NJ we have an average of 15,000 foreigners landing here every day (by my estimates) to get on the dole, so figure how many of their relatives’ bodegas/Quik-E-Marts end up with all of those cartons...

Reminds me of the movie "On the Waterfront" when one of the goons watching the longshoreman says:
And don't go walking off with any of that! You know how the boss feels about individual pilferage.
