It's amazing how governments believe that the solution for all human problems are always more tax for them to squander.
- Road accidents? Let's tax cars more.
- Bicycles don't pay taxes? Let's create a tax for point of sale for adult bicycles them to fund a institution to promote... bicycle usage (seriously... Portland attempted that with THAT EXACT ARGUMENT)
- Pollution? Let's tax whatever uses oil more.
- Hunger? Let's tax the middle classes more. Cancer? Let's create a fund for that and tax to fill it.
- People eating only fast food because it's the only fucking thing they can afford? Let's tax "unhealthy food" to promote healthier food... meanwhile, let's also tax farmers to the point that people who grow our food are starving.
... and goes on and on and on ...
