Why do people make moonshine?

People make moonshine for either a. their own personal consumption, or b. to sell. Moonshine is generally a neutral grain spirit with a very high proof, which if consumed produces the effects of drunkenness. Now, why do they do it? Alcohol is regulated and heavily taxed in the United States. Take for example, Virginia. First there is the price of the spirit. Then on top of the price for the spirit there is the alcohol tax incurred. Then, on top of the alcohol tax, sales tax is incurred on both the price of the spirit AND the alcohol tax. Which is why some people go to other states to buy their booze, or they make their own. It is simply because moonshine is extremely cheap and easy to make. One can sell moonshine cheaper than regulated alcohols and still retain a decent profit.
