Things that are bad for you or for society should be taxed more highly to discourage consumption.
Cigarettes.
Alcohol.
Soft drinks.
Gas.
Churches.
Country music.
NASCAR
The bottom line is that you can ignore me. But $8/gallon gas will be a reality for America sooner than you think. And that day, for the sake of the climate, cannot come soon enough. The kids of today will think very differently about these issues when they grow up than you/we do.
The future is electric cars and nuclear power. Future generations will look at smoke from a tailpipe with the same disgust as we would of someone pouring used engine oil down a storm drain (your parents would have thought nothing of doing that).
Good on you!
Lets add:
Soccer
Football
Baseball
Boxing
Prostitution
Chocolate
Rap
Music videos
v-8 engines in autos
Cats-cat food
Pit bulls
Now we can have a 4% flat income tax.
