SF Chron -- Trash is a big deal > Rexroad.com

This article was sent to me by a friend at the county.

It is from the San Francisco Chronicle about an artist that was trying to make a point about the amount of stuff we throw away each day.

Here is the article.

The point this guy makes is one that I use as part of my justification for encouraging a national sales tax. We need to tax consumption not productivity. Taxation does change behavior -- yet many think it only applies to "sin taxes".

This is also part of the reason that I opposed the producer liability policy proposed by the county earlier this year. The choices come down to the consumer. Let them make their choice on what to consume but include the consequences in the cost.
