Don't forget the drug and sex trades as well as all other criminal ventures. They are all untouched by the credit crunch. People always seem to find money to fund their personal habits which all go untaxed and unregulated.

Funny how things that do us all the most harm is where most of the money goes.

Speak for yerself, SH--I don't pay taxes for the Military and I don't BUY drugs or sex...just food, rent and internet/TV cable. That's it.
