Quote by: YourTokah the government agencies created to regulate these industries would still be funded with citizen's tax dollars. Law enforcement officials would not simply forget about drug use and prostiution, either - they'd just have a new set of rules and rule breakers, and your taxes would still be paying for them to do their *new* jobs. |
I am not in favor of the government regulating and taxing these "industries." I also do not favor prohibition and enforcement. Just de-criminalize and walk away.
Why should regulation and taxation be necessary? These transactions are between private parties, so I don't favor interference except for fraud or violence. And who is the victim and who benefits in the present regime?
