The fact that they are basically taxes not tied to income is pretty annoying. If you're barely scraping by, the state should not be taxing you as heavily on a gallon of gasoline as a doctor that barely blinks as they fill up their Sclass.

The way to fix this is to give extra cash directly to everyone without strings and then let people make rational choices about how to spend it, not artificially reduce the price of activities which are already priced far below their costs.
