The government could easily raise money by adding a little extra sales tax to items that are unhealthy for you. Think of the billions spent each year on healthcare treating people that have destroyed their health doing idiotic things like smoking cigarettes, abusing alcohol, eating sugary or fat laden foods. I propose an additional sales tax on cigarettes, shitty, cheap hard liquor, crap food like Twinkies, chips, fried garbage. The losers that consume this crap are still going to buy it even if it's 50 cents more. This could raise billions.
