Where do you personally draw the line, as far as advocating taxation to punish things you don’t like?

Why stop at the ‘obviously bad’? Sports (rock climbing, running [bad for the knees+], contact (football, rugby), etc.)? Drinking? Hell, getting out of BED in the morning has a greater risk of heart-attack, down to the how\when\frequency of coitus\gay....
Once the ‘payment’ is made by the TAXPAYER, it behooves the same to keep claims\payouts *low*. And any\all actions thus become ‘fair game’.
