Smoking, for example, creates an externality for those who inhale 2nd-hand smoke, deal with increased health care costs, litter, etc. I'm curious what the negative externalities are for limos, yachts, and the like that you are alluding to.  Well, the point of a sin tax is to attempt to capture the negative externalities (costs borne by society) of certain behaviors.

Hardly affects anyone in the top 50% of wage earners. Just like lotteries are a tax on the poor and working poor, the bulk of which make up most lottery ticket buyers -- literally a tax for those who don't understand math. And how much of that revenue actually goes into schools and other state infrastructure? Why not tax owners/users of chauffeured limos, yachts, private aircraft, etc. at the same rate as the above "sins?" Chances are, the bulk of these are exempt from taxes under some corporate tax loophole. But I rant. Pardon.
