Easy there, Haplo ol' bean.
We all know the bubbamint is the prime highwayman in all things. Singling out specific commodities to exploit for cash. Making a minority of consumers the targets for their greed. Then they pretend to be Robin Hood but, they can't even get that right. Robin Hood stole from the rich, not everybody who owned a horse or enjoyed tobacco, alcohol and telephones.
Excise taxes should cover the entire bill for the bubbamint but, to make it fair, they should institute a national sales tax on everything. That way ALL citizens pay their fair share. Not just those who smoke, drink, or drive a car.
