'Prohibition is never a solution to anything.'

This is clearly a massive claim which seems to be implausible by some common sense tests. But either way, it is definitely a belief rather than something provable.

Tax is a form of prohibition (on keeping all of your earnings). Any kind of law prohibits freedom in some way (at least in a kind of direct manner). Modern civil society seems predicated on the practice of prohibiting certain actions (and the requirement of others) for the common good.
