I'd rather they come up with a tax for people employing armed bodyguards. Especially idi0tic ones. Yun ang talagang "sin tax". Diba Mayor Junjun?

December 26th, 2013 12:24 PM #18Regarding sugar content: the same can be said for a number of other drinks/food, e.g. candies, "fruit juices", cakes, donuts and other pastries, bubble teas, "coffee drinks", etc.
And how about other unhealthy foods: french fries, lechon, sisig, etc? Shouldn't we tax them as well since they're "bad for our health"?
Don't get me wrong, i do recognize the dangers of an unhealthy diet, and softdrinks/fast foods are suspect #1. If the government really was looking out for the people's health, then it should have banned these foods outright. While we're on the subject, why not ban liquor, cigarettes, etc? Aren't they harmful to our health as well?
But no, they want to tax it. What does that tell you? As long as we get our 10% tax, bahala na kayo sa buhay nyo.

Yep. Pretty obvious since the primary purpose of the tax is for "rebuilding places devastated by Tyhpoon Yolanda" and not for purposes of providing subsidized or free health care to the poor who are afflicted with diabetes and other complications arising from diabetes.
I'm sure opportunista lang si congressman kasi nadagdagan ng explanation ng proposed tax bill niya dahil kay Typhoon Yolanda.Last edited by Altis6453; December 26th, 2013 at 12:44 PM.

December 26th, 2013 01:23 PM #20If softdrinks are bad for our health ang mas dapat i-ban ang sale, pero ung pagkaperahan ng gov ang patunay na our politicians ay ganid sa pera at hindi sa kabutihan ng.mga tao.
