| Oct 9, 2018 at 16:44 | comment | added | JonathanReez | There's a difference between charging a sales tax and preventing people from bringing alcohol from another province of your own country. Losing some tax revenue to another province should be the price to pay for being a single country. Ideally all states/provinces should just have a single alcohol tax and then no one would have to "smuggle" anything in the first place. | |

So state employees including the police were no longer paid, the state had no money. So policemen made their living by issuing on-the-spot fines -- which, you had to pay them in cash. IOW if you wish you didn't have to pay taxes, be careful what you're wishing for! | |

| Oct 9, 2018 at 16:13 | comment | added | JonathanReez | Yes, but is there at least one state that says "only 2 literally per person", like some of Canada's provinces do? | |
| Oct 9, 2018 at 16:09 | comment | added | ChrisW | I think it varies from state to state. | |
