If we should take a cue from Austria and these other reputable countries... For example, in Austria all pyrotechnics (category 1,2,3) are allowed, including those whose main effect is a bang. I suggest that we allow these firecrackers in Slovenia and put a high tax on them (e.g. 20%). The state wants to fill its coffers, so I think this is somehow the right way to go. I know some of you don't like firecrackers, but if you don't buy firecrackers you won't be worse off - you'll be better off, because the state will have money (and maybe you'll benefit too). Basically, I suggest you allow the sale of firecrackers with a fuse (which are the safest - proven) and put a high tax on them. Those who throw firecrackers get them elsewhere anyway (Italy, Austria), so... Why shouldn't Slovenia make money out of it? I mean, some people have no idea how many thousands (some companies millions) of profit some companies make by selling pyrotechnics. More tax would also be paid by the companies selling the pyrotechnics, more tax would be paid by the customers and so on - but those few days of popping will also last - as I said before, it will show up wherever anyone wants it to. Selling firecrackers only to over-18s is. Why should Slovenia not cash in on these firecrackers, rather than Austria and Italy cashing in?
BEFORE YOU DISAGREE WITH THE PROPOSAL, READ THE WHOLE POST.
AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, HE WHO CRACKS, CRACKS AND CRACKS WILL BUY FIRECRACKERS ELSEWHERE AND THE OTHER COUNTRY WILL COLLECT THE TAX, BUT SLOVENIA WILL NOT. WHY SHOULDN'T SLOVENIA MAKE MONEY?
