I've always preferred sin taxes to other taxes. Like you, though, I don't trust politicians to define what the sins are.
I'd be fine with something like this
- Sin taxes have to be accompanied by reductions in other taxes
- Whether something counts as a sin has to be affirmed by public referendum
- Sin taxes replace prohibitions on sinful behavior
oooooh nice -- yeah, esp the last one! if you're taxing the behavior, legal impediments gotta go.
Also, don't you trust MY judgment?!

According to Dr. Hibbert, broccoli is deadly and warns you of this fact by tasting terrible.
