The kicker is that they never reduced the import tariffs like they said they would...they dropped them slightly, promising further reductions that never came. VAT is here to stay and it will only go up...I hate to say it, but what can and should happen is increase VAT to 15%, according to their math, that will be another 25% of revenue to bring total revenue brought in via VAT...then eliminate ALL import duties, ALL excise taxes and cut some business taxes to encourage growth, that would be equivalent to the 25% gain from the VAT increase. Business taxes, Property Taxes and Import duties are ALL underperforming taxes that people are not all paying and dodging, do away with them. The VAT revenue is a MUCH more consistent and dependable collection.
Wonder if they discussed the layoffs first with the PM and the Labour Board as per the stupid law they are working on with laying off more than 10 people...
Police did not shoot him...social media saying he was trying to set fire to the house while the residents were sleeping and was caught in the act and taken out.
Say it...say the words...gang related!! 'Fellowship together'...what kind of bull crap comment is that. He's scared to say the words GANG and the position it will put he and the force in.
