The reason you're getting downvoted is because you compared a tax on ad spend to "Christian moralist" taxation in the United States, otherwise known as sin taxes. But you changed your definition of a sin tax halfway through the thread. These days, sin taxes like those on soda are often not motivated by religious concerns, at least in the US. They're taxes on goods or services that are harmful to individuals or society.
