Wrong. Congress did not prohibit the sale of whiskey. They only put a reasonable tax on it. When producers failed to pay the tax, they were in violation of the tax laws. This is not in any way similar to prohibiting something. But I am sure you knew that.

Our early Congress prohibited its sale, they smashed the stills in which it was manufactured, and they confiscated and destroyed the whiskey itself. You've embraced an absurd falsehood regarding prohibition, and have no credible authority to back the meritless assertion.
Where did it come from? Where did you hear it? - # 687 - roscoe -

Here we see roscoes deliberate denial of logic & the simple meaning of words. - He insists that a tax law be viewed as a 'prohibition' law.
Incredible, twisted sophistry.

There is also blatant cowardice in his failure to answer. He has rapidly become the FR town clown.
He would have to share that title with a certain VA "person" I know
