Lobbying against a proposed tax on ride sharing specifically is now evil?

I never used the word "evil". But I do believe that a tax on ride sharing companies, where the money would go to improving affordable public transit, is a good thing, and that lobbying against it is a bad thing.

An industry’s execs paying large volumes of money to push against a proposed tax on their industry isn’t exactly great in my book. Not always evil, but probably about 90% of the time it is just evil.
