Haitian Sin Tax

Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe has proposed a new tax to raise money for schools in Haiti.

Lamonthe calls the plan a "sin tax", and it would increase taxes on alcohol, cigarettes, and gambling.

Parliament will have to approve the legislation, but it's aim would be to raise one hundred million dollars.

That money would be put into building two hundred schools, fixing up two thousand others, and for training thousands of teachers.

The tax is expected to pass, and it's supporters hope that it will bring about a new age for the country.
