- chris_va 8y agoTechnically it is a solution, but it sounds like you don't like it for cultural reasons. This gets into the purpose of governments in general.

Governments have a relatively limited set of options for creating change. Taxes are one of the least invasive options, and significantly lighter weight than regulation and police enforcement.
