Yeah it’s weird how they keep going on about our great simple GST system, when multiple large countries have implemented it without too many issues.
Another sentiment I’ve seen is “Wealthy people buy fruits and veg too!!!” So what? Why can’t we just help everyone? Everyone should be eating more fruits and vegetables. If it leads to healthier varied diets for everyone, it’s a net benefit as a whole to us.
Wealthy people spend a much smaller percentage of their income on fruits and vegetables anyway. This is why GST is effectively a tax that hits the poor much harder.
I agree. I meant it was being used as argument that it didn’t only help the less fortunate and therefore not a good idea.
In country that’s got a struggling healthcare system, improving everyone’s health with cheaper access to a healthy diet is a good thing.
I agree with you too!
Sorry about the confusion. I was arguing against “that it didn’t only help the less fortunate and therefore not a good idea.”
