What else – tax on sugared drinks is essential in meeting the obesity problem. The 2 children rule – again no problem if it lifts children out of poverty.However I do wonder if child benefit should be given in food vouchers. The EV mileage tax was essential for government income but I wonder how effective its implementation would be. As I said yesterday, a mileage tax ic counter ingenuous.
