Cars are themselves taxed and so is gasoline. In Europe much much more so than in U.S. So in a way not having a car you have a tax break (and public transportation, whenever it exists, is subsidized, because it almost never breaks even, so you have another tax break). And taxing meat is a bad idea. If meat gets more expensive, people will eat even more fast carbs and sugars, which will mean ballooning healthcare costs.
