I also support the high taxes on cigarettes which funds healthcare in some states. You can think of this pbook tax as a vice tax.
I love your logic, Markbot. I want a 100% tax on cell phone use. They're a blight on the environment. I want a $300 a month tax on every television. They're a blight on the culture. Women's shoes should have a 100% tax. Hey, this is fun and I might get a job in Washington.
