"If it looks like a , and quacks like a , we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands." - Douglas Adams (English Writer) 1952-2001

The new government promised to lower the alcohol tax considerably, which they didn't do once they came to power, of course. They don't tax the alcohol here, they tax the bottle it comes in. You're supposeed to get the money back when you send it to the recylers, but they keep the money for themselves. Both alcohol and tobacco are heavily taxed here. On petrol/gasoline we pay double taxes, over 80% of the price is tax!Therefore, car owners must be really, really !
