I will agree with you that the entire system is corrupt. Hell, as far as I'm concerned there's a solid majority of the bastards in Washington that deserve to be hung.

What I'm contesting is the assertation that the government makes money off the war on drugs. Governments don't make money - they collect money by taxation. They then distribute this money, or at least what is left after paying for the massive government bureaucracy. The war on drugs not only allows for an expanded bureaucracy, it also makes the gubment more powerful and creates a huge market for otherwise unneeded supplies and services.
