I hunt deer because they aren't capable of higher forms of thinking. All they care about is, 'What am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away'. They are very much like the French in that way.

If you want less of something, tax it. If you want more of something, don't tax it or reduce the tax burden.
