Hmm. Bigger tax on alcohol wouldn't cause inflation?

An old skool Finnish politician, Paavo Väyrynen, thinks that the tax on alcohol should be higher, and the increase should be coincide with the lowering of tax on food. This way the increase wouldn't have affect on inflation.

Does he take us stupid, or what?

Seriously, though, I think most of the election cattle will buy his version of the thruth.
