It hurts because it's true.

That's Vinnie Barbarino logic, and his grasp of social studies

What are the similarities and differences between a government and a prostitute?

While you pay both to screw you, you usually enjoy it when a prostitute screws you.

And, only some prostitutes will rob you every chance they get.

Drug cartels are free market.

Governments subsidize the wealthy.

Arguably a cartel isn't free market. It's better than government in the sense that, although the price is inflated, you can still choose.

drug cartels were created by the government.

prohibition was not a grass roots effort, but created the atmosphere in which the mob was formed

My translation of El Chapo:

They call me a bad killer, assassin, thief, and all the worst that one can be in this world but I only hurt people who truly deserve it. I don't kill children, the elderly, and much less do I take from them what they need. The drugs are consumed by those who want it, and I don't force them. In contrast in the government, they kill innocent people to keep power, kill children, students, the elderly, rob their necessities, and after all that, they have a salary and call the president servant of the people, and the only thing that they do is serve themselves from the people. SO WHO IS THE BAD GUY, ASSASSIN, AND THIEF???
