Imagine that there is a group of people, let's call them "smokers". And a larger group of "non-smokers". The latter are increasingly happy with quieter streets and cleaner air. Smog related illnesses and associated healthcare costs are declining. They are tired of the billions in disaster relief  needed to "adapt" to global warming. They are tired of the endless wars, human misery and death required to secure foreign oil reserves. In this scenario, it's clear who will be paying more taxes.
