World Health Organization Calls for Huge Global Tax Increases on Alcohol, Soda
The World Health Organization is advising the government to use taxes to take your freedoms away.
In a Tuesday news release, WHO called for huge global tax increases on alcohol and sugary drinks, suggesting that increasing the price of these beverages by a whopping 50 percent would create healthier societies.
Sounds just ducky, right?
Citing a 2017 study, WHO claimed that its recommended tax increases would “help avert over 21 million deaths over 50 years and generate nearly US$17 trillion in additional revenues. This is equivalent to the total government revenue of eight of the world’s largest economies in one year.”
And there you have the real concern — $17 trillion in new revenue.
