Especially since now the government have their new angle of attack - Global Warming. A legalised scam that allows the powers that be to increase tax on everything from fuel for cars, jets, boats, etc to fucking plasma TV's, citing that they are doing it to curb spending and "over use" as these things are bad for the environment!

Same reason they will never make cigarettes illegal - there is too much tax revenue from cigs and alcohol for the gov's to ban it, so they just "pretend" they are doing something positive towards getting rid of it (such as banning smoking from certain places etc) but they will never outright ban it as a whole, as they'd lose too much money....
