Also for comparison :
In the UK there is
bias in favour of gluttony and against women inherent in the structure of taxation
If citizens of a country where taxation were less biased were to lobby the UK government to change the law so that tampons and sanitary towels are not VAT taxed ..... then I wouldn't descend into any resentment based on an 'us' and 'them' mentality. frankly, i would appreciate the support and unity.
