Dear Examiner, way to miss the point

Memo to everyone who thinks the 5ยข plastic bag tax is about raising revenue: IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY! The point of the tax is to discourage use of plastic bags, NOT to raise revenue. The less revenue the tax brings in, the better it is working. Seriously, this is not hard to understand.


The Examiner completely misses the point with this headline.
To be fair, the online story is pretty is much on-target.
