Two things tony...we all already pay too much taxes. If I added up state, federal, county, property and sales tax over the last few years it comes up to over 50% of what I made. It's bullshit.
And secondly..."they don't arrest what they tax" is just not true. Back in S.C. video poker machines were legal state-wide. Multi billion dollar business that brought in tourists from everywhere to that little shit hole state (thank God I moved from there in Oct.)
Then, a few years ago...the state supreme court decided that gambling was against the state constitution. (and no, don't ask me how being free to do what you want is against a state's constitution) Within a week, police were busting all the big video poker "casinos" all over the state. An entire industry went down in the blink of an eye. People were out of work, many big guys were bankrupted and ruined.
And the state was making tons of money off the taxes on gambling. Didn't matter one bit.
Never underestimate the sheer arrogance and stupidity of govt. And don't ever wish for more taxes. Please. lol
