So you’ve just been busted with two tons of illegal drugs in Tennessee — let’s say marijuana — and you’re going to jail for a lot of years.
Wait until you get your tax bill for the crime! About $1.1 million on the sale of those drugs.
Wait! you may say…how come I get punished with prison and THEN have to pay a tax on the confiscated contraband?
Well then, you should have bought your tax stamp to sell those illegal drugs.
Yes. Stamps. On illegal drugs.
Brilliant!
