Don't be dumb..even if money is used to buy drugs it still gets used before and after and is taxed each time aside from private transactions. The simple fact is the poor and middle class circulate those dollars endlessly until it winds up into the hands of the 1%.

At that point it's less likely to be recirculated or taxed for some time causing the money to go out of circulation causing the tax earned on that money to drastically decrease. This is why a strong middle class is the most important foundation for a solid economy.
