Education and moral decay in this country are the reason why we are where we are today. The concept of keeping the populace stupid and ignorant, makes the politicians jobs easier to sway the masses into their favour. The people do not have the tools to know right from wrong, to think for themselves, to understand the bigger picture so to speak, all they will hear is the chatter of a mouth up on a stage promising them this and that...and giving them free food and drink and parties. Terrible system of governance and campaigning. Education MUST be a priority...top notch education...not just the baby sitting service we have going on at most government school these days granting kids 'leaving certificates' that can't even read or write properly.
I think someone brought this up before...are they going after any of the countries that literally sold their own into slavery? For sure there were people on the ground in the various countries that the slaves originated from that were responsible for the capture and sale into the slave trade to start the journey across the Atlantic...or are they just going to overlook that layer of the trade and focus on the countries that received the slaves and subsequently used and abused them. Just curious.
Apparently...I guess I made the mistake of getting a good education, being honest and forthright, and paying my dang property taxes...along with all the other bills like an idiotic responsible citizen...guess I should have just got my D average at a government school and just ignore paying a thing and dodging at every turn...silly me...what was I thinking. Trust me...ain't gonna pay property tax until they hunt me down and shoot me!!
These are also the same people 'failing' to collect over half of our duty revenues and forcing us down the path of VAT. Start doing your job properly and efficiently...then we'll talk!!
The sad thing is that your roster of MP's out there are all pretty well off and are more than capable than your average Joe of paying their taxes...they just 'elect' not to...well hey...I'm taking my own vote and electing not to pay any more of my taxes.
Disgraceful...but hey...it's our culture...those special few who know someone who know someone will just get a free pass and burn the honest individuals out their paying their dues.
Screw it...me and my taxes payments are going on strike.
Think you are missing the point of this particular article...government is going to legalize web shops...fine...even though the population voted against it...whatever...now they are saying they are going to let the webshops 'police themselves'...let the webshops be the ones who are going to be forthwith enough to provide accurate reporting on what they are going to be taxed on...Mr. Numbers man...'Oh boy, it was a bad month, ya see, I didn't make any money this month, so I ain't gonna pay the government anything...' You are going to let what is currently a criminal enterprise do their own 'policing' and monitoring and tracking and accountability...something seriously wrong with that.
We knew this was coming after the whole immigration detention debacle...PLP is going out of it's way to make foreign investment NOT welcome, and to the poor local businesses they are trying to tax them out of existence as well...just gonna be a bunch of small whole in the wall type shops trading in cash out the back door.
