No, it's precisely the right question.

If you agree that some functions of government are necessary, then you
agree they must be funded. The question is - how? I prefer a tax on
unproductive activity to one on productive activity. I prefer one on
something with an inelastic supply so that there is no deadweight loss
due to the tax. I prefer one that taxes an externality to one that
does not. That is why I support LVT.
