Lets face it, this is just another sin tax.   It's a way to collect tax's for all from the hands of the few.    

Sin Tax is nothing new.  It's OK to tax gamblers and smokers because they of course are breaking a moral code of behavior and have a character fault.   The immoral can be punished and the solid citizen gets to reap the benefits without paying an equal share of the tax expense.

And how does this personal choice of behavior get translated into benefits for the society?   Have we not had drinkers, smokers and gamblers who come to the aid of their neighbors, saved lives, served in the military, work long hours, serve as CEO's of companies providing jobs? 

I really dislike these kind of moralistic judgements, populist in nature (because they generally represent majority opinions), that create just one more dagger in the concept of fairness and equal treatment in our nation.   Apparently you only get equal treatment if you chose the behaviors that are determined by majority
