I don't see why the tax is even required in the first place. The people with the money get taxed when they make it in the first place. Its just the government being greedy and double/triple dipping. Its not like farmers are any different to anyone else, we all get shafted by the tax.
Now I can understand employing a tax to minimise harmful things like CO emissions or smoking, but to base it on price and not emissions has no merit whatsoever.
In saying that it isn't going to change my purchase choice in any way but it is still annoying and unnecessary.
