and that is always dangerous, but anyway, I want to know what you think of my idea.
I have been thinking about different ways to lower the rate of crime in some catagories..robbery, battery, whatever.
Anyway, I was thinking how Rudi Guiliani lowered the rate of crime in NYC by picking up the vagrants washing car windows, etc.
OK, so, I was thinking that federal and state and local governments not charge tax on cigarettes and alcohol. If the cost of these items were quite low, marginal people wouldn't have trouble(financially) purchasing them.
I really think this would help lower the crime rate.
BUT, billlions in lost revenue. What to tax to replace the revenue?
Think about it, makes sense, doesn't it?
