I tried sharing it with you, but I don't know your email.

I do have a rape tax because rape is evil. 

I have an unintended pregnancy tax to discourage people from having premarital sex.

I have an STD tax to encourage more people to get their STDs treated.

Alcohol should be discouraged with a tax

The adultery tax is supposed to discourage non consenting adultery.  Adultery breaks families apart.

Birth control is better for that than a tax. 

People who are addicted with that substance simply will pay more for it.

I want to see any evidence you have that taxation encourages a condition you laid out.

I don't think the government should be paying for it.

If people are taxed for having an STD, they would want treatment more in order to avoid paying the tax.

There should be an exception for non treatable STDs, but spreading those by having sex should be more punishable.  I think people can afford treatment.

If that happens, then it's a reliable source of income.

Besides, aren't rich people more likely to be addicted to alcohol, so it's basically a tax on them for the most part. 

Poor people can't afford to get drunk.

I want to see any evidence you have that taxation encourages a condition you laid out.

If you punish (insert behavior), you get less of it.

If the government pays for it then they wouldn't even need to discourage against people who are not ready to have children or would be at risk of children without birth control.

What if they can't pay for it?

So you are for exploiting weaknesses in humans?

If it wasn't clear already looking at the data 66.5 percent of bankruptcies are filed under medical issues. You thought is not really realistic.

You pretty much stated rich people are not likely to get addicted to alcohol

Alcohol is cheap therefore the poor can afford to get drunk. 

If you are an adult in the US, you get taxed $17,000 per year.  This way, even if people gradually stop doing other things, the US still gets tax revenue.

My spreadsheet shows how someone who works a minimum wage job (I'm assuming you do)

You automatically assume anyone making less than 17k a year is working a minimum wage job?

That answers my question. Spoiled rich kid it is.

If you don't want kids, don't have sex.

Then they save up to get treatment.  I imagine it's very cheap compared to $200/year.

Are you on assumption that people just have STD's just because of some sick joke?

To an extent, yes. 

There also will be people that quit alcohol consumption due to the taxes.  It's not a big tax either.

Those are for surgeries that are very expensive.  Just getting an STD treated I imagine costs very little money.  Once STDs are eradicated, then humanity can enjoy sex more since there is less incentive to enforce abstinence.

I imagine rich people are disproportionally more likely to be practicing alcoholics because they can afford it.  

The typical alcoholic drinks like 10 beers a day, so that would cost about $20 a day from that alone.  How can poor people afford that with all their other expenses?

Your spreadsheets are set to private.

Hours to work don't just magically appear and there is no automatic switch for spending.

Take the minimum living wage of Florida for example which is ~$24,000.

Of course you also need to calculate time spent for meal preparation, personal hygiene and house work.

If you don't want to die. Don't get shot. Care to explain how gun laws are not necessary?

People claim bankruptcy for a necessity like medical and you think they can save up for this?

What makes you so sure that the government won't take it a step further and not help people with alcohol almost make like a tax loop that assures them a consistent supply of taxes?

STD is a medical issue. If the person files for bankruptcy due to medical issues who can you say they can pay for it?

So you are for taxing the rich?

Where are you getting these numbers from? 

This is off topic, so I shouldn't respond to this.  If you want to have a gun debate on a forum, make a forum about it.  This forum is about ASTAP.

They file for bankruptcy for surgeries other then STD treatment.  I imagine to treat an STD, you just have to take some pills, although I might be wrong on this.

The government does something similar with tobacco yet less people smoke.

If alcohol is treated like tobacco, less people would want to drink.  The tax loss would be gradual and can be added on to the adult tax when it happens.

Not all medical issues are expensive.  I don't know how expensive it is to treat an STD, but if they don't get treated, then eventually every human will have ever STD and humanity would suffer on such a basis.

Not on the basis of income, but on the basis of "sins".  If there is a sin tax that rich people are more likely to indulge in, that is tecnecally a tax on the rich, but not because they are rich.

Medical issues. If they can't afford necessary medical related issues how do you suppose the are supposed to be pay for less necessary or less immediate treatment?

The government does something similar with tobacco yet less people smoke.

Evidence?

They filed for bankruptcy which means they don't have enough money. This is clearly not a point against people who can't for medical issues since that was the cause of bankruptcy. 

So you are for abolishing taxing income?

Was supported by that link

which is based on an anecdote. Am I correct? If so do you have actual evidence? 

If you don't want to get shot, arm yourself because the criminal will always have a weapon.

The people are insured.  ASTAP shows how they can get insurance paid for with a minimum wage job.

I don't know why you always want evidence, but the smoking rate is below:

?

So you are for abolishing taxing income?

Yes.

It was based off of some research.  I know that it's about 10 drinks a day per person that is in the drunkest tenth of the US population.

If you don't want to get pregnant but still would like to enjoy sex. Preach to the government about paying for birth control rather then making people pay taxes for things that help enjoy good things without negative consequences afterwards.

We are supposed to help bad people not tax them. You don't understand how to run a country if you value exploiting weakness above helping others.

That is not evidence. Where are the citations?

If they can't pay for necessary medical related issues how are they supposed to pay for STD treatment?

Tell me do you believe in trickle down economics?

One person personal experience is not a good way in saying most people have this are like this.
