The problem is that adding taxes to an item to try and reduce it's use does not work until the item becomes so expensive that stopping it's purchase makes a huge difference to your wallet. This has been the case with tobacco and alcohol. There comes a breaking point for most people but it is generally once you have practically doubled the price.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I am against taxes as a method of trying to 'control' people. What I prefer is that there are consequences to a persons action. Much higher health insurance costs for smokers or alcohol. Higher costs when it is deemed greater injuries due to not wearing a seatbelt etc..
At the end of the day, my costs for a healthy living is not much different that someone who eats fast food, smokes, drinks and has soda. I would like there to be a benefit to me other than just being healthier.. like health insurance costs significantly lower.
Golly that is scary...
