[QUOTE="Steevo, post: 6523191, member: 430"] Its interesting how all agricultural produce is now cheaper than ever, so food for the masses can be kept cheap. This enables them to buy the latest iPhone each year, Sky tv, new car on PCP, a new/bigger house etc. Thus in turn demand for these “new” essentials keep rising, as do their prices. Which drives further inflation and requirement for wage growth. The result of which, primary producers are faced with rising costs of products, yet a sale price driven ever lower. The most bizarre bit is that more people would get upset if Netflix was turned off for a month, than if the price of food in the shops went up by 5/10%. It does make you wonder...... Maybe there is another angle to it also....if food products were subject to VAT, would the government be more interested in maintaining their price level? When the petrol price rises by 10ppl (whether due to oil price, or government duty increase) the government gains an extra 2ppl in VAT regardless. [/QUOTE]
