20% is not enough of an incentive to black market products. Look at the cigarette tax. It really has to jump high for the black market to get involved.

That's incorrect, 4.5% is enough incentive right now at my flea market.

Cigarettes are far more of a black market commodity than you would believe. Infact, in Canada, where tobacco taxes are very high compared to the US drug dealers have switched from drugs to cigarettes. When asked why they respond, because the money is just as good and the penalties are far less if caught.
