By your own statements, you agree with using taxes as a weapon against the affluent owning eBook readers and the poor being forced to read paperbacks.
I'm confused.
You are the one who stated that you believed the higher tax rates were justified because they only hurt those with money - and a lower tax rate may be justified because of the ubiquitous nature of cell phones and lower income people now reading eBooks on them.
You can't have it both ways.
Either you believe that higher taxes are a valid way to punish those with money, or you don't.
