Just look at tobacco... a product that kills millions, still being made and sold and they have government protection from lawsuits. So instead of taxing the manufacturer, they tax the person using it. I have been smoking for 40 years.... a pack of cigarettes can cost 100.00 per pack and I would still be smoking. They know this... they make money off this... and they keep making their deadly product.
Back on track... they can eliminate the plastic bags and just go back to paper like the past before plastic bags. Biodegradable. But they would rather just tax the people into submission.
And... as mentioned above... fine charge a deposit, not a tax... allow people to return them for their deposit back, like they did with soda bottles. But that will put too much burden on the company so again, they put it on the people.
