I never thought I’d say any “tax” was good, but I would personally be in favor of a tax like this. I HATE THOSE PLASTIC BAGS! If a tax would force everyone to use paper or cloth, it would be a better world. Have you ever gone to a land fill and seen how those things last forever? On the sides of the roads, in the water. And they aren’t even a GOOD bag! I’m not a tree hugger. I want logging to be vastly encouraged, but I hate these bags and doing away with them alltogether would make me a happy person.

Really ? How would a totalitarian dictatorship be a better world?

They do not.

I hate to throw dirt in your face, Integrityrocks, but you are acting/sounding just like a liberal.

You hate the plastic bags for semi-legitimate reasons, and want to force your desire upon others.

But did you once consider that people like me, handicapped people, like the plastic bags because we can carry them ourselves. Paper bags (which kill the sainted tree) are impossible for me to carry.

Cloth bags are impractical because of the cost (very limited budget), the quantity needed for a weeks worth of groceries and condiments.

Just think for once.
