Time to pour cold water on capitalism gone mad

THERE is a new pseudo-economic theory in town — “double taxation” has mutated to become “multiple taxation”.

Water is essential for life. Doctors encourage us to drink eight 8oz glasses of fluid daily. The political propagandists want to make healthy living a luxury.

We know that we will have a spiritual reward if we give even a cup of water to a thirsty person. Will we now have to pay tax to measure out human kindness too? Will we ever be able to make a cup of tea again? The “water police” will have a field day.
