Good time to bug your MP

Any losses would be privatised to the individual, so it's not really much of an issue for society as a whole. For the majority of people the cost of alcohol is not the limiting factor in their consumption, so it's only unproductive poor people that would be left to die.

If people are too unwell to work, then that are not being productive and are not contributing to the national economy.

So, let's make it simple for you:

What will the impact be on the national economy of scrapping alcohol and tobacco duties?

...it's only unproductive poor people that would be left to die.

What a wonderful vision of society.

What a wonderful vision of society.

I'm not even going there. Let's sort out the economics first.

Now you know that is not going to happen....


....so far this business case has not got one number in to justify it. We are only on page 29 ffs.

They would also be consuming less too. So the resources that would have gone to them could go elsewhere.

That does not answer the question. So again:

What will the impact be on the national economy of scrapping alcohol and tobacco duties?

[Robinho]

Let's say you eliminated the least productive people in society. How would the GDP per capita look?

[Mich the Tester]

That does not answer the question. So again:

I have a question too. Who will determine the value of my land and how?

[Mich the Tester]

Let's say you eliminated the least productive people in society.

Are you proposing genocide?

[Robinho]

Survival of the fittest would be more accurate.
