Reply #28: But what if the tax is so high it does price people out of the market?

[1a2b3c]

I would say cigarettes would be one tax that is almost high enough to be considered taxing people out of the market. The bullet taxes being proposed have many flaws. The bullet taxes that are being voted on now would tax most sport/target shooters out of bussiness. (and that is the goal of those who introduced the tax in the first place)

That said, would you agree with a 100% tax on fatty foods? Say we taxed a bag of potatoe chips from 3 to 6 dollars and an extra value meal at McDonalds from 5 to 10 dollars, would you agree with this also?
