This is why I always get annoyed when people post those “look at this $5000 donut!!” pieces as if it were a bad thing. TAKE ALL THE MONEY YOU CAN FROM THE WEALTHY. GET THEM TO BUY THE DUMBEST POSSIBLE SHIT YOU CAN FOR THE HIGHEST MARKUP YOU CAN MANAGE

States that impose luxury taxes are simply callously demonstrating that what they care about isn't welfare, it's welfare *through them*.

all states are primarily concerned with the consolidation and maintenance of their own power. luxury taxes are meant to _increase_ the appeal of the thing being taxed. it makes conspicuous consumption even more conspicuous and even more inaccessible to the plebs.

it's been remarked many times, with disgust and astonishment, that it is far more expensive to eat a diet of whole fruits and vegetables, and mixed sources of protein, than to eat a diet entirely of mechanically separated chicken byproducts and corn chips
