Say I drink a bottle of spring water. I don't finish it all and there is about 1/4 left. So I put the cap back on and throw it in the trash. The garbage man comes buy and takes my garbage away to the dump. My closed bottle of water is still among all of the trash laying in the dump. This means it will remain in the bottle and not be recycled back into the air. Now imagine if I drank 12 bottles of water a week and did this with all of them. Now picture 3 million other people similiar to me. Could this be a serious way of wasting drinking water? And of course I know you're supposed to recycle but many people don't.

While I agree it would likely reduce the purchase of cigarettes (in direct proportion to the size of the tax), i don't think its a good idea for 2 reasons:

1. I don't like government intervening and/or trying to influence what people should do (i hate smoking, but I hate social engineering even more. I think people can make their own good or bad decisions).

2. This would seem to hurt small business owners more than anyone. Consider, you are raising the price on a product they sell a lot of yet NONE of the increase in price goes to them. Raising prices will lower sales, so essentially you are decreasing revenues to the small business owner who sells cigarettes. Any tax set up to hurt small business owners is very poor in my view.

Agree/Disagree? Why?

Debit/credit cards
Online bill pay
Recurring direct debits from your account
...checks...


Who needs cash anymore?

Personally, if a place doesn't accept an alternative form of payment (cards), I don't shop/eat there. I feel dirty and vunerable toting around cash in my pocket.

How about you?

My suggestion is coal. The US is the largest producer of coal and would dominate the entire industry if they decided to invest. The only drawback is that each plant would cost 5 billion to make. This however would not be a problem if the government would fund the project. It would only take a few plants to begin production. Not only would it cut gas prices in half, but it would be 100% safe for the enviroment and the supply is virtually limitless.

Let's hear some of your suggestions (although mine is the best =) )

I've been getting alot of replies to the effect that laissez faire works, in that "people" will determine their own destiny, in effect without an authority (democratic or not) guiding morality...I would like to challenge those who are in favor of laissez faire why economic freedom from authority is ok, but personal freedom from authority (lack of government) is not ok...for instance, if a corporation wants to pollute the water, according to laissez faire, the government shouldn't interfere (because the people will vote them out with their dollars rather than the authority figure) but if a regular person is polluting the water it is not ok (the person should be sent to jail by an authority figure)...How can a person justify businesses being free from authority yet people should not be free from an authority figure? It seems like the same rules for corporations should apply to regular people...and if that is true laissez faire would mean (lack of government) anarchy...wouldn't it?
