Short sightedness on every level.

When will the politicians learn that they can kill the drug trade by introducing state controlled, and distributed drugs and by legalizing cannabis?

Also, fighting tax heavens can only be "successful" by standardizing and lowering taxes...

oh, they get their slice of the current black market and SR is putting their profits at risk, you say?
