Simple: because now you&#x27;re talking about creating a gigantic government bureaucracy to look at every single product on the market and figure out its disposal cost, and then add disposal taxes to every single product.  That&#x27;ll make it pretty hard, for instance, for some small company to come up with a new product and sell it, because they&#x27;ll have to get Federal regulators to check it out, which will probably cost a fortune.  Or what if some little neighborhood deli decides to make a new special sandwich on Saturdays?  Nope, can&#x27;t do that, because we have to spend $10,000 for Federal regulators to come assess its disposal cost.  And it has to be Federal because people routinely take things across state lines before disposing of them, so it&#x27;s a Federal matter.<p>In one word, it&#x27;s infeasible.
