You mean like:
Taxes on golf.... wasteful uses of land why look at them, eyesores, sand traps, little ponds, trees, golf carts emitting toxic waste.... besides only very rich golf.
Taxes on fast food.... very unhealthy have to protect you from those healthcare costs and obviously you can afford the taxes you aren't cooking at home which is cheaper to do.
Taxes on daycare..... one of the parents or grandparents should watch them... having to work is no excuse, obviously you can afford the taxes YOU WORK.
Taxes on cellphones... they may cause brain cancer that will overburden our health system, besides you can live without having to carry a phone around.
Yeah, as sarcastic and stupid as those sound, I have a feeling once they get every thin dime they can out of tobacco, caffeine, trans fat, and so on, they will go after other things....possibly the above.
