Re: Crime pays?

I don't think you quite understand that you've just contradicted yourself. It's not a crime to do business; if it were legal, then it wouldn't be a crime. The point--one of them--is that businesses pay money to the govt (taxes, fees, etc.) and "organized crime" doesn't (well, except for the bribes, which don't actually go to "the govt"). We're talking billions of dollars here. Taxpayers, however, are paying billions that are being used to prevent other citizens from simply trying to exert control over their own property (one's own money, one's own body, one's own life).

As morbo said, though, neocons will never understand that they do not have the God-given right to decide how someone else may use their own free will to live their life.

It's not the business they do that's illegal, it's the extortion, racketeering, and murder that accompanies it.
