Because guys selling a product on the black market are going to pay taxes on their illegal sales...yeah, that makes perfect sense.

If you have to sell oil on the black market you are paying a tax. Because you have to sell it at a significant discount compared to market rate or else buyers would just buy the oil from legal sellers. That's why sanctions against Iran worked. Did Iran still sell oil? Yes. But they had to discount the oil to find buyers willing to put up with the headache of dealing with contraband.

The only carbon that’s good for them is that part of gunpowder that propels a bullet.

If weather and seasons can be stopped with a carbon tax, ISIS will be a cake walk. Of course, although Biden and his idiot boss think that paying taxes is patriotic, paying taxes to stop muslim animals like ISIS would amount to treason in their eyes.

Liberals like Friedman see the world in terms of a alternate universe they devise from the gossamer webs of their own words, totally unrelated to the real world.

The only reality about ISIS is that it is a political cult that is fighting a religious war against anyone who doesn’t believe in the jihad of Islam as the absolute word of God that must be followed to the letter.

If you don’t believe in their brand of Islam, it is Allah’s will and decree that you are enslaved, converted to Islam or killed.
