I know it is impossible to change a persons mind on an internet battle. I just don't like the argument of 'it's not me, there are worse people'

Fail.
Elected representatives at any level of government are not there to impose luxury taxes on their constituents. They are there to ensure public safety (among other things) by implementing laws that make that happen.
This legislation does nothing of the sort, therefore it has no business being discussed as anything but a thinly veiled cash cow. Period.
