We do tax them with VAT, which brings a LOT of money.

We could, and should tax them more on earnings too, despite loop holes and tax heavens.

But even if you could just get VAT on drugs and prostitution, that would be HUGE. Not to mention profits would go to legal businesses, which would stimulate the economy, instead of going into criminals pockets, which hurts society.

Perfect is the enemy of the good. Let's just crack open those revenue streams a bit.
