The mafia was taken down in Chicago because it was providing something that was desired by the people, people who should be in control of their own lives and will ultimately be responsible for the decisions that they make, freedom. Unfortunately, the powers that be did not see it that way, you can argue that Al Capone was taken down for tax evasion, I don't care, this is how he was convicted,one has nothing to do with the other.
Al Capone was taken down because he had more power than that of the government. These companies are being shut down because they are not willing to pay the shakedown money by the city mafia.
We need to take this country back and until you people do not understand this, you will remain slaves. I almost believe that this is what you want..
I do not. This is NOT what this country was built upon and changing this, being OK with this will eventually lead to the destruction of our country, which, before that happens, will be a civil war.
- berbec 8y ago> Al Capone was taken down because he had more power than that of the government. Really? Not conceding the point of him having more power or that being the reason he got taken down, but isn't it good thing we had strong federal government with tough regulation to pick up the slack of lax local regulators > this will eventually lead to the destruction of our country, which, before that happens, will be a civil war. Amazing performance there. From "denied scooter licenses" to "dystopian communist dictatorship" to "Civil war" in under 5 paragraphs.
