Quit his job and never paid taxes again, and lived happily ever after in prison. If you do business with FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES, you HAVE TO PAY TAXES. If you want to organize your own local economy: Get with members of your community and compile a directory of people and businesses to agree to do business with "funny money" that is backed by local goods and services, then print that money and begin to circulate it... What you end up with is a dollar that is stronger than US currency because it is actually backed by something that is worth something. But you are absolutely free from paying taxes on that money. If you have a US dollar in your pocket, you have a legal instrument that you are required to pay taxes on. Any claims made by anyone that say they are not required by law to pay taxes on US currency is either mistaken, or they are blatantly lying. Either way, IRS will punch their clock. Only a matter of time.
As far as heavily taxing pot and on and on, I think the govt has no business dictating what we should or should not be doing. They did not make pot illegal for chilren. They made it illegal for everyone. As an adult, I should have the right to do what I want, regardless of the consequences. I aso don't think it is the govt responsibility to deal with the consequences of my mistakes. If a million people decided to burn their brains out, that is called the LAW OF NATURAL SELECTION.

Make no mistake, they ARE making money of of pot. They already have a smoothly running stream of revenue coming in from the prohibition of marijuana. Legalization will not stimulate the economy anymore than it already is. The revenue officers are out in force collecting that money for all kinds of victimless crimes. Robbing You and Me blind.
Anyone can make alcohol. A lot of people make beer in the USA. But distilling alcohol is ONLY illegal because it could replace gasoline. In fact, all automobiles were run on ethanol before gasoline took its place. Has nothing to do with alcohol safety, your childrens well being, etc. You are not allowed to distill alcohol in this country because if you could, it would reduce the public need for gasoline. Period. When gas pricess hit $4 a gallon again, tell me you would not rather invest 50 bucks in corn and water and make 50 gallons in a month.
Far as ethanol deteriorating aluminum and rubber, etc.... Your gasoline does not usually come into contact with rubber. Maybe you rigged up a garden hose to your gas tank with duct tape and bailing wire? My answer to aluminum is steel. And steel is cheaper, too. Far as the 90 day shelf life of ethanol: Gasoline that is left in your gas tank for 90 days is saturated with condensed moisture from your gas tank. Even petroleum gasoline doesn't last 90 days.
