In a \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-publishes-bizarre-email-from-tennis-player-missing-since-accusing-official-of-rape\/\" title=\"China Publishes Bizarre 'Email' from Tennis Player Missing Since Accusing Official of Rape\">recent news release<\/a>, WHO called\u2062 for massive global tax hikes on alcohol and sugary drinks, \u200bclaiming that a\u2064 50% price \u2064increase would\u200c lead \u200dto healthier\u2062 societies.<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s not be \u200dfooled by their seemingly noble intentions. The real motive behind these tax increases is\u200b the \u200cstaggering $17 trillion in additional revenue it would generate. WHO sees people as mere pawns in their quest for more \u200dmoney and power, disregarding individual\u200d freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. R\u00fcdiger Krech, WHO&#8217;s director\u2064 of health promotion, paints a utopian picture of taxing unhealthy products, claiming it creates healthier populations and prevents violence and injuries. But where does it end? Will they\u2063 tax meat, gasoline-powered \u200dvehicles, guns, and everything else \u2063in the name of &#8220;protecting&#8221; our health?<\/p>\n<p>What WHO is essentially proposing is \u200ba ban on alcohol \u2062and soda for the poor, while the wealthy can indulge without consequence. This discriminatory approach is unacceptable.<\/p>\n<h3>Should the World Health Organization be abolished?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes<\/li>\n<li>No<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but where I&#8217;m from, a \u2064six-pack of beer is already too expensive. Taxing it even more would \u200bforce me \u2062to\u200c give up drinking \u200bor resort to finding\u200b cheaper alternatives.\u200c History has \u200dshown\u200d us that when alcohol was prohibited, \u200dcrime \u2062thrived and bootleggers profited.<\/p>\n<p>WHO is nothing more than a puppet \u200bof\u2064 the \u2062World Economic\u2063 Forum and the Chinese\u2064 government. They want to play God by taking away our God-given rights. But the truth is, curbing \u2063individual\u200c freedoms won&#8217;t fix our broken\u200d world. Only God, through Jesus Christ, can bring true healing.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/world-health-organization-calls-huge-global-tax-increases-alcohol-soda\/\">World Health Organization Calls\u200c for Huge Global Tax Increases on Alcohol, Soda<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How \u2063does\u200c the World Health\u2062 Organization&#8217;s proposal to increase taxes on sugary drinks and tobacco products raise questions about personal freedom\u2064 and individual autonomy?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2064 Recent report, the WHO has suggested implementing higher taxes on products that\u2062 are harmful to\u200d health, such as sugary drinks and\u200d tobacco. While this may seem like a noble effort to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nations-largest-trial-court-system-tells-staffers-to-get-vaccinated-or-face-termination\/\" title=\"Nation\u2019s Largest Trial Court System Tells Staffers To Get Vaccinated Or Face Termination\">promote public health<\/a>, it \u200craises serious concerns about personal \u2062freedom and \u2062individual \u2062autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, it\u2063 is important to acknowledge the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fda-responds-to-reports-of-dna-contamination-in-covid-vaccines\/\" title=\"FDA addresses DNA contamination in COVID vaccines.\">public health\u200c initiatives<\/a> and\u2062 efforts\u2062 to combat harmful substances. Many studies have shown the \u2063detrimental effects of sugary drinks and tobacco on people&#8217;s health, and it is crucial to find \u200ceffective ways to reduce their consumption. However, the WHO&#8217;s proposed solution of increasing taxes\u200d on\u2063 these items raises \u2062questions about the role of government and the limitation of personal choice.<\/p>\n<p>By implementing such \u2064taxes, \u200dthe WHO \u2063is essentially trying to manipulate individuals&#8217; behaviors by \u2062incentivizing certain choices while discouraging \u200cothers. This\u200c strategy may be well-intentioned, but it encroaches upon people&#8217;s freedom to make their own decisions. It seems as though the WHO believes that it knows what is best for individuals and \u200cthat it has\u200d the authority to regulate\u2062 their choices.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, this taxation plan \u200bcreates a slippery slope towards further government intervention in\u2063 our lives. If the WHO is successful\u200d in implementing taxes\u200c on sugary drinks and \u2062tobacco, what prevents \u200dthem from increasing taxes \u200bon other \u2063products they deem harmful\u2062 in\u2063 the future? This could lead to a situation where the government is \u200bdictating what we can and cannot consume, undermining our individual freedoms and rights.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it is crucial to consider \u200cthe disproportional impact\u200d of such taxes on lower-income individuals. Research has consistently shown\u2062 that those\u200d in lower socioeconomic brackets are more likely to consume \u200csugary drinks and \u200btobacco products. By increasing taxes on these items, the WHO may inadvertently be\u2064 placing an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/social-security-update-second-of-december-double-payments-worth-914-to-be-sent-out-in-23-days\/\" title=\"Social Security update: 4 double payments to be sent in 23 days on December 2nd\">additional financial burden<\/a> on these already disadvantaged populations, further exacerbating existing inequalities.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, this taxation strategy\u2062 fails to address the \u2064root causes of unhealthy behaviors. Higher taxes may \u200cdiscourage \u200csome individuals\u200d from consuming sugary drinks or tobacco, but they\u2062 do not address\u200d the underlying factors that lead to these choices,\u2064 such as limited access to healthy alternatives or lack of education on nutrition. Instead of solely \u200crelying on taxes, efforts \u2064should be made to promote\u2062 healthier\u2064 options,\u2062 provide education, and ensure\u200b equal access to resources for all individuals.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, while the World \u200cHealth Organization&#8217;s plan to increase taxes on harmful products may be well-intentioned, it raises significant\u200c concerns \u200cabout personal freedom, \u200bgovernment\u2064 intervention, and potential inequalities. Public health initiatives should prioritize education, access to\u200c resources, and empowering individuals to make informed choices, rather than resorting to taxation \u200das a means of control. \u2062It is essential to strike a balance between \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/colorado-governor-jared-polis-urges-biden-to-change-vaccine-rhetoric-hints-big-change-coming\/\" title=\"Colorado Governor Jared Polis Urges Biden To Change Vaccine Rhetoric, Hints Big Change Coming\">promoting public health<\/a> and safeguarding individual freedoms, as \u2062both are crucial for a thriving\u2062 and equitable society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Health Organization suggests imposing hefty global taxes on alcohol and sugary drinks, aiming to promote healthier societies.
