So we can say that companies paying taxes and collecting the paid amount from us,if you not aware of it go and see the something you bought it recently it will clearly explains how much taxes you have been paid for buying it unfortunately many people not aware of they were paying taxes to everything while purchasing.
Income tax is another thing and its depends on the annual income so its just extra tax from our income to be paid.
I can say you,I never drink alcohol but I am a smoker at least 20 per day.
I get it, that's why I brought it, and that's not the point. But merely increasing the tax or rather sin-tax on products such as tobacco, alcohol-related goods, will not damage the economy entirely. In fact, it is also a strategy by the government if the economy is in shambles (or for instance if the country has a debt in the world bank and this is one of their strategies to cope up, like here in my country)--thus inflation will take effect.
I'm not really a hard drinker, only occasionally, when I and my friends or relatives gather for such a long time, being busy and all that. I can't sympathize your level of smoking, you see, my lungs aren't strong when I was a kid and I had to take medication because of dust, smoke, etc. and even if I'm ok now, I had that habit of not intaking any of it as possible.
And what is that responsible promoting of alcohol? They want their citizens to die slowly? because they need taxes from them
This is a very, very complicated issue
The government can't just ban alcohol as the outcome of this effort is well-known to us. As a matter of fact, the US government did actually try to do exactly that in 1920's (the so-called Prohibition), and instead of solving one problem, that of alcohol consumption (which it didn't solve anyway), it had created a whole bunch of other problems such as the rise of organized crime (the image of Al Capone should instantly emerge in one's mind as the epitome of that era), political corruption, clandestine production, and bootlegging business, to name but just a few
Agrees that complete ban on alcohol will put the country into chaos but increasing taxes for these products will not decrease the consumption so they want the taxes from it as well.
I never thought about that, if we didn't learn from our history, these same incidents will occur again. The reasoning of increased tax for the goods should be transparent from the government, I'm pretty sure they will do that (well, depends on the type of government).
