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.

The question Whether one generation of men has a right to bind another, seems never to have been started either on this or our side of the water.
