Twinkle 10 / Beer tax
Beer tax gets a payrise. You don't.
A bar-stool rant about the one government process that runs like a Swiss watch, then a hard turn into why a tax can be automatic but donation disclosure somehow takes a year.
Open seed
The everyday gripe
Straight to camera, schooner in shot: the beer tax goes up every February and every August, automatically, no debate, no delay, among the highest beer taxes going. Meanwhile the money that funds political campaigns surfaces long after the votes are counted. The gag writes itself: this country CAN run things like clockwork, it just chooses which things. This seed is open: film your own price-of-a-schooner history lesson.
Description
The one-breath drop
Said before the flush
"If the beer tax can raise itself twice a year automatically, donations can disclose themselves the same day. Same computer." Second breath lives in the room.
