Taking on large private debts is one form of taxation: we are taxed "in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds... [we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers."

only about 50 per cent of Singaporeans pay taxes.

Then GST is wad?

 

Technically this ex-SC is right.

 

When my child go see a doctor, eat out or buy stuff, he or she is not burdened by any tax i.e. GST.

 

In fact they are not coming out with a single cent at all.

 

It's their poor old man who is paying for everything... [:(] [:(]

From CNA:

Mr Shanmugam said: "When I talk to my grassroots leaders, I just did a walkabout in my constituency, we also have to send another message, which is that, only about 50 per cent of Singaporeans pay taxes

 

That's because the other 50% are either:

 

1. Schooling

2.Serving NS

3. Elderly

4. Jobless

 

... go figure
