Pretty much any tax increases or decreases to encourage or discourage a purchase is a terrible idea in the first place IMO. That said I'm not going to stand by and not take advantage of every possible way to use the terrible ideas to my personal advantage. On the local level, on the state level, and on the federal level.
I also always vote against such things if put to a vote, and also gravitate toward any candidate who runs on a simplified tax code. Flat tax rate with no deductions or credits for anything would be ideal. Everybody pays the same percentage no matter the income source. Also be sure and count benefits as income to keep from making more loopholes on that end. Abolish the IRS almost completely and give very little for lobbyist to lobby for.
Again, I accept what is, is what is, and will work the system that is to my gain.
