Beer Tax

The petition is entitled Scrap the tax on pints of beer and the explanatory notes say
"If you enter a public bar, you pay zero rate tax on beer sales."

Yet another "But why?" Why beer? Should this apply to all drinks bought in pubs? What about restaurants? The supermarket? What about packets of peanuts? But above all - why? What's wrong with paying a tax on something that is - no, really, it is - a luxury, not a necessity?

I'm beginning to think I need to create yet another category: WHYYYYYYY?

I agree - you need a why???? category :)

You should also monetise this site (suitably, of course)- are you getting much traffic?

(or perhaps you're waiting to secure a book deal)
