    Dumb tax as in tax for being dumb. I was joking.

    I think “stupid tax” is the more common verbiage, I’ve updated it

      Personally I think “idiot tax” works better.

      “Stupid” and “dumb” being adjectives that could also be describing the tax itself, rather than the person paying it, is ambiguous. But “idiot tax” clearly says, to me anyway, “a tax on idiots.”
