    While I understand your sentiment, it is unethical (which is confusing at times), to tax people because of their inability to make financially sound decisions. It is in the governments interests and duties to educate people to protect them from foreign and domestic bad actors.

        I guess you intend to convey that the “idiot tax” is a metaphor for the misfortune people suffer from their own (perceived) mistakes.

        Though I cannot control language, I am of the opinion that lotteries are an example of the “idiot tax”, both in metaphor and finance.
