Anything and everything is unhealthy or harmful in some way if it's abused. How many more excuses does the government need to raise taxes? Just raise taxes for everyone and stop pussyfooting around trying to pretend it's for the public good.

Face it, this is just a way for the government(a CONSERVATIVE government) to pretend they aren't raising taxes by targeting certain industries, but guess what, those taxes on companies gets passed down to the consumer so it is a tax on everyone in the end.

The Conservatives need to stop pretending like they are against raising taxes. They always find a a way to raise taxes through loop holes so that people don't realize they are doing it, but they claim that it's only Labour that wants to raise taxes.

The difference is Conservatives only like raising taxes on POOR people( so they target things like alcohol, cigs, junk food, that they know statistically poor people buy more of), but Labour wants to raise taxes on rich people.
