Human trafficking is profoundly illegal, whereas scalping is not (in most states (all but 16)) so this makes your comment pretty silly. Not to mention the massive gap in how bad those two things are...

    Human trafficking is most definitely "a crime" which is what some people think the IRS doesn't care about.

    Yes I did say it's a crime... it is profoundly illegal... my exact words. According to the law, scalping is only "a crime" in 16 states. People can think whatever they want, I think it's stupid and should be illegal worldwide, but that doesn't matter. Gotta put your feelings aside when dealing with things like this, and jumping to extremes like you did is irrational and silly.
