Sin taxes are big here in the bible belt. You can seemingly tax liquor, tobacco, and now weed (13% before local sales tax in Co) as much as you want and say its for everyone's own good and they line up to vote for it.
Here in Oklahoma, we have an effective 1% gross production tax on oil and gas. Nodaks is 11% or was last time I looked. We have a huge budget deficit and guess what is the only solution they are voting on in our special session? A huge cigarette tax. The reasoning is they are only doing what is good for us.
Most times in my life when someone said 'Its for your own good' it was at a prostate exam or something very similar.
