Maybe a liberal can answer this for me

So let me make sure I have this right.

We tax cigarettes because we want people to smoke less.

We tax alcohol because we want people to drink less.

Now were looking to tax junk food because we want people to eat less junk.

We issue credits for purchasing energy efficient appliances because we want people to be energy efficient.

We extend home buyers credits because we want people to buy homes.

But if we want people to be wealthier, we increase taxes on wealth?

Huh?
