    This article mentions how the Colorado regulators are seeking to impose an excise tax on the upcoming sale of cannabis. They need to figure out the right percentage to use for the tax, but since they don't have previous sales figures, they will have to do further market research to find the optimal percentage tax to put on marijuana.

    This article discusses Mexican plans to implement a 5% percentage tax on fattening foods, a 16% percentage tax on chewing gum and a 8 cents specific tax on sodas. This is a fine example in which a government is using excise taxes as a means of discouraging consumption of a product that is harmful for one's health.

    A few weeks ago the Nicholls Worth ran this article about Jindal's plan to change the structure of taxation in Louisiana, moving away from income taxes and toward sales taxes. More recently, more details of the governor's tax proposals have been released, as we see in this article from the Baton Rouge Advocate.I believe it is very interesting.

Tax exemption for public access to treasured artworks is 'a racket' | Art and design | ... - 1 views

    This article talks about how owners of rare artworks are exempt from paying inheritance taxes as long as they allow viewing access to the public. This is somewhat an inverse of the tragedy of the commons where instead of restricting the usage of the "commons", the government encourages allowing more access to the commons. The main reason for this would be because artworks have cultural significance.

    Interesting how artworks have been worth so much money and are a private good by ownership, but still are available to the public.Take any museum, its artworks are all privately owned, but have been determined to be part of our culture that cannot remained unseen. It must be public for reasons of conservation.

    This is a very old article (1993) that talks about how the taxes should be set on the packs of cigarettes. The goal is to pay for the same amount of the increase of medical attention demand in the article as it seems.

    This article discusses the effects of price ceilings and floors on greenhouse gas emissions and its potential drawbacks with a slower economic growth of the state. This is a good example on considerations of instating an excise tax, because it would reduce emissions, but lower economic growth.

This article argues that obamacare will definitely negatively affect the labor market, due to the taxes people will face and the benefits others will receive.
