They’re not taxed because they used to be illegal and they shouldn’t ever be taxed because they should be made illegal again.

The same way prospect (futures) markets should be illegal, as well as options. The rich apparently couldn't make enough with regular stocks so they had to build gambling into it, and then inside trade to make sure they won.

Burn it down.

Should probably do both for when they inevitably become legal again.
