Kind of a mixed bag.
On one hand, it discriminates against whatever the government feels like it needs to: Gasoline, Cigs, Alcohol, ect.
On the other, some items to have a higher toll on the government, and it's agencies, and need to be taxed.
In the case of alcohol, it costs our police force extra money, as they have to spend more time policing it.
I think that taxation on such items that cost a disproportionate amount of government revenue should be taxed accordingly....But taxed accordingly, and not plastered with an arbitrary number that they make up in a back room somewhere.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
