Description
What would be a “good” thing for the government to tax? This is a hard question, so please think about it Some things to keep in mind:
Demand for the product can’t be too elastic or people will stop buying the product instead of paying the tax
The government tries to make taxes “fair” – they don’t want them to disproportionately impact people with lower incomes. This is why they don’t tax food at the grocery store, diapers, feminine products, etc.
**Note: it is totally okay to pick an item that is already taxed.
