No, but because I don't think it will achieve the desired end result, not because I object to government involvement per se. Sin taxes generally don't work. I just think it's ironic that many people who are objecting to the government taxing something to decrease its consumption don't seem to have a problem with benefiting from the government's subsidizing something to
increase its consumption. /nitpick.
