Amit believes that humongous weddings in the Punjabi eshtyle are good for the economy…

The state should actually welcome lavish weddings, for they pump money back into the economy, and provide employment to people in associated industries, from catering to decor to entertainment to transport. Not only would a tax on wedding expenses disincentivise such expenditure, but it would inevitably find its way back into the economy far less inefficiently than had it simply been spent by the people paying it. Not only is it immoral — as it always is when the state assumes jurisdiction over what other people do with their property — it is also impractical, and harmful.
