last year in new york, over 2.5 trillion dollars of illegal drug traffic money paid no income taxes nor collected sales taxes. why pay taxes when you can pay off the politicians. money for drugs comes before paying rent. what a mess!!!!walkingstick » 28 Jun 2023, 3:32 am » wrote: ↑ ILLEGAL STREET DRUGS. why do the politicians allow this? as they are not getting tax revenue from the drug dealers. the reason is simple. rather than paying taxes, the drug dealers pay off the politicians. and your city government looks the other way. as city drugged out people become homeless. city welfare cost go up. as city tax revenues dry up. and politicians become filth rich. THIS IS TRUE!!!!
