Can't blame the criminal? Just blame someone else

Here's an interesting approach to criminality. When groups commit crimes, other people should be directly taxed for those crimes.

"All you have to do is look around the corridors of this city to see why this fee is necessary," said [Councildude Larry Reid], who represents East Oakland. "You can't control the customers who have no sense of cleanliness. They just throw their trash in the streets. Someone needs to be held accountable."

And since we can't hold the responsible parties accountable, we'll just hold businesses accountable. What are they going to do, move?
