“Social engineering has no place in a free society.”

Putting a tax on products known for ages to cause social and health problems is not social engineering. Allowing all the costs of these behaviors to be spread over all taxpayers is socialism.

Putting part of the costs on the risk takers and cost causers is conservative. You think forcing everyone to pay for the risky behavior of others has a place in a free society?
