I hear you, but I feel like this argument is fraught. We can't (shouldn't) really be telling people what they can/can't do.
We can restructure incentives, though. (e.g.: taxes). Perhaps this is just kicking the ethical quandary down the road.
- PM_me_your_math 4y agoA more appropriate term would be disincentive, in your example about taxes. You are more or less telling them what to do by hitting them in a wallet. Sin taxes and enriching government to change behavior the government wants is practically synonymous and not appropriate in 99% of cases.
