And if we as a country were to legalize it, then we are endorsing it. THAT IS WRONG, and wrong is more important than the money we would collect in taxes.
So everything that you think is wrong should be made/kept illegal.
I have a list of things that I (or some otehr people) think should not be done.
Plenty of incomes are taxed that made in areas lot of us would object.
1. Adultery (having sex with a man/woman married to another) - clearly harmfull, damaging to relationships, sometimes resulting in violence, briken families.
2. Religion. I can fill volumes with harm of that one. If you are religious yourself, I am willing to leave yours legal to get your support. But the rest are obvioulsy wrong, so down with them!
3. Spicy foods - causes all kind of cancer, ulcers, cost society money in medical expences.
4. Having babies for which you cannot provide support.
5. Any kind of medical research other then trauma treatment - interferes with natural selection or god's plans, whatever you prefer.
6. Fatty foods. People harm themselves eating them and hartless bastards are making money selling those.
I could go on and on.
So why not outlaw them all, otherwise I am endorsing those things, by your logic?
