Roots of PROHIBITION The Time is Now

With the passage of the 16th Amendment, the Goverment no longer needed taxes from Alcohol. By 1914 a prohibition amendment seemed within reach.

I know this from personal experience, especially when I was young, that if someone tells you that something is banned it just makes the banned item more enticing. When I was in the Navy before we pulled into port the brass would tell us where we couldn't go and those were the first places I would visit and I would usually see other sailors beat me to those places.

@Norbero Fontanez Say that to the hubdreds of thousands of alcoholic drunks who had ruined themselves. Say that to drunk husbands who beat his wives on a daily basis or parents who abuses their children. Alcoholic is nothing but toxic. It is no different than cigeratte and drugs. Its dangerous.

@@secrets.295 alcohol doesn't make anyone do bad things any more than a ink pen makes people write bad things. Wicked people simply blame someone or something like alcohol for any bad they do, instead of admitting it was them. That is the nature of a wicked person.

So why do we still pay a income tax since alcohol is legal again and taxed?

[@archer1949]

Excellent question, good sir!

+Jeremy Robinson so much money was lost when alcohol was prohibited that to combat it they introduced sales tax to pay for it.

Prohibition Law mixed with American Capitalism would take street gang commerce to rise economically to the status of Organized Syndicates. The low level hustling of the streets would go on to hold a net worth spot on the NASDAQ stock exchange.

What is that backround music. The music I'm talking about starts at about 6:30. It plays while the map that show the progress of prohibition, in the states is shown. Thanks, Ken Burns. .🙂
