Such taxes to such an extent are relatively modern in US history. I think people like to think that the money is spent for good because it would hurt even more if it wasn’t but I think much of it is wasted and a lot of it is counter productive. But perhaps I’m bitter at having governments subsides my competitors making my industry really unfair.
