I can make an argument that , if taxes need to be collected, it makes sense to target those products that cost society (and the government) money.

Just remember how all that lottery money the state(s) were gonna get and how it was gonna be for "education" and how that would lower your tax bill.

Every one of those states that presented that argument kept the part about lottery revenue going to the education fund, put neglected to actually lower your taxes.

Expect the same to happen with this. It won't lower your taxes one thin dime.

It's just another thinly disguised tax increase aimed at a group that's politically OK to attack.
