That is called "social engineering," meaning you are shaping consumer behavior by discouraging the use of things you tax heavily: tax on liquor, cigarettes, gasoline, exise tax on tires, etc. , and encouraging the use of things you either do not tax or even give subsidies to, such as hybrid cars, energy efficient light bulbs, producing ethanol as a fuel supplement, and other things. Another example is home ownership is encouraged by being able to deduct from your taxes mortgage interest and property taxes. This is based on the basic principal that people do less of things that are taxed, and more of things that are not.
