Damn, is your country the same as mine?

Recently, a country very famous for its high taxes (brazil), the discussion about means of applying taxes has been increasingly frequent, even talking about 'sin tax' for games of chance, with the excuse of discouraging gambling sector. But they will continue to collect, the government doesn't care about collective health, so this is just an excuse for them to give the population to justify this high tax rate.

The political class is continuously seeking for raising taxes and creating new tributes, because they are greedy and avid for more benefits for the class they belong. And in order to benefit themselves, they also have to benefit the members of judiciary system, because the parliament votes the wages of the judiciary, and the judiciary votes the wages of the parliamentarians. 'One good turn deserves another' and who pays the waste of money is the average citizen, after all.

Add this to the fact inflation is nuking purchasing power in Brazil. To do so, the political elites have to adjust their wages considering the loss on Real's consumption power, so they aren't affected by inflation like the rest of the common citizens are. The gambling tax is just a drop in the ocean of the abusive ideas brazilian leaders have to "gift" their population with.

Anyway, people deserve it, because if the system works the way it does, it's because this same people went for that. Political idolatry is strong and the most shady actors of the national scenario become sudden heroes in the subverted eyes of the population who is constantly looking for a fake messiah to raise as their savior.
