BEE policies should be scrapped so that the economy can grow, more people can have jobs, crime can reduce, and poverty can be reduced. Increasing taxes on an already over taxed people is the wrong strategy as it will lead to more job losses. Already a minority supports the majority due to lack of jobs, unproductivity, too high taxes, no tax incentives for investors, etc. By raising taxes the country will go from bad to worse. |

2025-01-24 14:49:23 +02:00 | Gillian | No I do not | Other | There are several issues with this proposal. In a nutshell, increasing the cost of alcohol will not deter people from drinking - they will simply turn to illegal means to acquire it, putting themselves in danger as this alcohol will not be regulated. At the same time, the legal alcohol industry - which supports hundreds of thousands of workers - will be put under financial strain and those workers will be out of work, which will devastate entire families and communities. As always with this government, this is a ridiculous, short-sighted 'solution' to a far greater problem that needs to be addressed by educating the population and growing the economy so that people aren't compelled to drink out of boredom or depression. Seriously, did you learn nothing from your ban on alcohol and cigarettes during the Covid-19 lock downs?? |
