Imagine if you will, if the Government was a fish bowl. We are the fish that swim in it. The water is taxes. The more taxes being collected the easier it is to swim. Unfortunately, tobacco products, alcohol, marijuana, traffic law, gambling, sports entertainment, car and home sales all make it so the government can function. I'm sorry, the government will never shrink because a few fish decide that they don't like the water anymore. If anything gets banned, it will only be what will collect more taxes if it was illegal vs legal.
