An oft repeated claim, but still as full of holes as ever.

Taxation is not a form of financial investment, where people compare
what they pay in and get out (hopefully the latter being more than
the former). If it was then the people who would whine most loudly
would be people who take the drug alcohol. Not one penny of the tax
they pay is spent by government on more or bigger pubs.
