And if companies can produce alcohol cheaper they will get to increase their profits - also anti-competetive as it will result in a cartelGillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041625437706980162.post-66675571308349472172012-03-23T22:32:46.356+00:002012-03-23T22:32:46.356+00:00I love the idea of going to the till and pretendin...I love the idea of going to the till and pretending I'm 90 so my wine is cheaper!

Alcohol is very easy to produce from basic ingredients and, as a consequence, attempts to control it have a proven track record of making bad guys very rich and powerful.<br /><br />Regarding taxes. lots of people want to sell me things. These people have to go to great lengths to persuade me to buy their products and I have a choice, If I like their product I will buy it, If I do not wish to buy it, my money stays in my pocket.<br /><br />Many things that are paid for by taxation are things that I do not want or need. Fake charities, the Church of England and the BBC are the first things that come to mind.<br /><br />There are things that I do need, such as a well maintained road network, for this I pay four times over the odds for and the government fails to provide it.Stonygroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564192847660157500noreply@blogger.com
