I really dislike this argument because it implies that as soon as something is deemed "bad", a tax should placed on it.

- aidenn0 8y agoIf you put scare quotes around bad then yes it's a bad argument, but the argument is actually "causes harm to others." If you think we should discourage causing harm to others then your choices are roughly: 1. regulation 2. taxation 3. torts (i.e. anyone who is harmed can sue those who did the harm)
