Quote by Will Rogers

We don't seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize it and then tax it out of business?

We don't seem to be able to check crime, so why not legalize

Summary

This quote suggests that since efforts to reduce crime seem ineffective, a possible alternative could be to legalize criminal activities and regulate them through taxation. By doing so, the quote implies that the government could potentially gain control over illegal activities and generate revenue from them. However, it should be noted that this is a provocative perspective that challenges conventional thinking on crime prevention and raises ethical considerations regarding the promotion of illegal behavior.

For the superior morality, of which we hear so much, we too would desire to be thankful: at the same time, it were but blindness to deny that this superior morality is properly rather an inferior criminality, produced not by greater love of Virtue, but by greater perfection of Police; and of that far subtler and stronger Police, called Public Opinion.
