Black Market 

think of the united states as one big black market. or think of it as the underground railroad. it's not really there, but you know it's happening.

it's basically where anyone trades goods or services for money. this money is untaxed, and unregulated, generally involving products such as narcotics, prostitutes, or even booze. it's possible the greatest market ever conceived.
