I have no idea  what alcohol costs here, but yes we are getting ripped off on our cell plans.

Alcohol, cigarettes and gambling are just forms of taxation.



And they all share one common feature.



Can you guess what THAT is?

Answer: The government doesn't like competition to its thieving and so it's illegal to open private casinos, grow your own tobacco, or distill your own spirits.

So why do the well to do lobbyists approach government officials to lock in the behaviours that the majority of all people (within the gov and outside of) enjoy and financially benefit from?

Addictive behaviour is good for business. You have a guaranteed source of revenue, whilst pretending you're trying to contain said behaviour with higher taxation as a form of "deterrence".
