The Jakarta Post reports that analysts have branded the current high import tax regime on alcoholic beverage as a policy failure that has "neither discouraged consumption nor maximized revenues" and, as many had predicted, has "fostered a thriving black market."
So those 'pejabat' do not know anything about alcohol? I doubt that, but at least they do keep up that appearance very well. Who on this planet invents a tax system based on prices when you have a percentage of alcohol for crying out loud.
