Um, that
is how the natural course of the market works, why bring the government into it, unless you want more and more government in our lives.
This is a sin tax, pure and simple, plus the gov't is lying about how they are going to use the money.
There are a lot of sins in this world, without going the "reduce to ridiculous" route, which of your sins are you ok with being taxed or taxed even more?
My points stays the same, and I have been very consistent: this could have been accomplished without involving the government. We don't need more government, we need less. We are never going to have a truly balanced budget or decreasing deficits until we stop the growth of gov't. Yet, every election cycle, we vote to make the government bigger, not smaller.
I just don't get it.
