Check the plan out if interested. If you can't access, then let me know and I can share it with you.
Can't you copy it here or lay out the argument here?I tried sharing it with you, but I don't know your email.
I do have a rape tax because rape is evil.
I have an unintended pregnancy tax to discourage people from having premarital sex.
I have an STD tax to encourage more people to get their STDs treated.
Alcohol should be discouraged with a tax
The adultery tax is supposed to discourage non consenting adultery. Adultery breaks families apart.
Birth control is better for that than a tax.
People who are addicted with that substance simply will pay more for it.
I want to see any evidence you have that taxation encourages a condition you laid out.
If the government pays for it then they wouldn't even need to discourage against people who are not ready to have children or would be at risk of children without birth control.I don't think the government should be paying for it.
If people are taxed for having an STD, they would want treatment more in order to avoid paying the tax.
There should be an exception for non treatable STDs, but spreading those by having sex should be more punishable. I think people can afford treatment.
If that happens, then it's a reliable source of income.
Besides, aren't rich people more likely to be addicted to alcohol, so it's basically a tax on them for the most part.
Poor people can't afford to get drunk.
I want to see any evidence you have that taxation encourages a condition you laid out.If you punish (insert behavior), you get less of it.
If the government pays for it then they wouldn't even need to discourage against people who are not ready to have children or would be at risk of children without birth control.
What if they can't pay for it?
So you are for exploiting weaknesses in humans?
If it wasn't clear already looking at the data 66.5 percent of bankruptcies are filed under medical issues. You thought is not really realistic.
You pretty much stated rich people are not likely to get addicted to alcohol
Alcohol is cheap therefore the poor can afford to get drunk.
If you are an adult in the US, you get taxed $17,000 per year. This way, even if people gradually stop doing other things, the US still gets tax revenue.
My spreadsheet shows how someone who works a minimum wage job (I'm assuming you do)
You automatically assume anyone making less than 17k a year is working a minimum wage job?
That answers my question. Spoiled rich kid it is.
If you don't want kids, don't have sex.
Then they save up to get treatment. I imagine it's very cheap compared to $200/year.
Are you on assumption that people just have STD's just because of some sick joke?
To an extent, yes.
There also will be people that quit alcohol consumption due to the taxes. It's not a big tax either.
Those are for surgeries that are very expensive. Just getting an STD treated I imagine costs very little money. Once STDs are eradicated, then humanity can enjoy sex more since there is less incentive to enforce abstinence.
I imagine rich people are disproportionally more likely to be practicing alcoholics because they can afford it.
The typical alcoholic drinks like 10 beers a day, so that would cost about $20 a day from that alone. How can poor people afford that with all their other expenses?
Your spreadsheets are set to private.
Hours to work don't just magically appear and there is no automatic switch for spending.
Take the minimum living wage of Florida for example which is ~$24,000.
Of course you also need to calculate time spent for meal preparation, personal hygiene and house work.
