I give a shit; I want costs and incentives aligned as closely as possible, and that means not shifting the cost of things to the taxpayer in a way that ensures there will both never be competition, and the true costs are not borne by the people who actually incur them.
The people arguing against you are not going to see it your way.
There is a ideology of some people that think that taxes are a magical way of funding anything they feel is a common good. Most of the time these are well intended thoughts of public good. However they NEVER take into the account the unintended consequences of their ideas. It stops with tax more = more public good.
