SIN Tax

I cannot believe the Philippines government arguing about a sin tax.

Put the Cigarettes up to a min of 100 Pesos per pack, this will cut down instantly on the consumption of the sticks (I am a smoker at the moment.) It will not create an increase in revenue but will make a healthier country.

Imagine i can go to the shops and buy one stick for 1.50 Pesos Nothing else except lollies are that cheap. It will keep money in the pockets of the poor.

Then they will afford to put more food on the table, School, Health.

Same with Alchol, Place a Min price or Triple the Tax not this 10%, increase.

This will lower the number of drunk related admitances into the hospitals. thus a saving to all.

Armys design weapons to Injure not kill why Because looking after an injured person cost more in people and money than funerals.

This is the same with the SIN tax idea. Lower the number of injuries not deaths straight out.

Crime may go up a little at the start but overall the outcome will be a healthier and more productive country.

The President could make a Presidental Decree and that would be it. It must be done every Developed country has done it. (Become developed.)

Look at South Africa, Deny the problem exists (AIDS) and 30% of the country will be dead or dying in the next 10 Years.

....FACE THE FACTS....

If you disagree with me Post it..
