Using taxation for behavior modification is wrong. This is how we've ended up in the mess of taxes we have today. Despite what politicians keep repeating, "good manufacturing jobs" are never coming back, and taxes and excessive regulations are near to the top of the list of reasons behind this.

Taxes should only be used to raise money to support essential government work and worthy, efficient, well-justified, regularly reviewed programs with automatic expiration dates of no more than five years. The latter to make sure we get used to re-evaluate everything and make sure we run government as efficiently as possible.
