    Since you don’t know what a pigouvian tax is, it’s a tax designed to disincentives certain behaviors. “Sin” taxes are pigouvian. They’re designed to address externalities not borne by the initial transaction.

    I’m not surprised you have little understanding of terms, but perhaps instead of doing this limp-wristed slap fighting you could actually stay on topic and describe what the fuck you meant above.

        The point of a pigouvian tax is not to fund the government, but to shape behavior and address externalities. Revenue is not the intent.

        Again you’re not saying anything meaningful or specific. You can just say “I was talking out of my ass and barely remember the conversation.” It’s fine.
