Gst is mend for rich people to pay more tax than poor people, then
from the taxation of rich, we rebate Gst to the poor, that is why
the govt said, "live within your mean" if you are not that rich,
eat at hawker centre, no Gst, no service charge, if you think you
want to eat in posh restaurant, no one can stop you, but you will
be charged with Gst and service charge, u understand the logic or
not?
angel7030,
you spoke a similar tone as minister v bala, and I love to
engage a talk with someone with an intellectual level as minister v
bala.
You said "eat at hawker centre, no Gst" => You must belong to
the elite family (GCT's wife family) who cannot see through that
the hawkers need to pay gst to their raw materials and landlord.
The cost increase is pass to the customers. If you don't see the
price increase, check out the quantity of food you are getting in
hawker centre.
You said "Gst to fund to job credit." Get your figures right,
Gst is not enough to fund job credit totally. It was drawn from the
reserves. Job credit is devised by the government to help the
people, cool. If government come up with a idea, be responsible for
it. Don't stress the people with more taxing. If the intention is
to make rich people pay more, why introduce in the consumption tax
(GST) only , increase the income tax bracket for high income
earners. The elite protects the elite, who in the elite family
wants to pay more in income tax.
And if V Bala wants to allocate $20M social project to welcome
new immigrants into our estate, why so stingy with $20 increase in
social welfare monthly payout to poor people?
And V Bala is so concerned with bar top dancing and jealousy
fight in bar, he should oversee the geylang industry now, 10 times
worse. And worst still, he is a minister for community development
youth sport, why is he supporting casino? To create more job and
drive economy? why only about 3000 odd poor people get monthly
state welfare now out of 3.5M singaporean. More bar top dancing and
jealous fight for him to talk about in the future ?
Angel7030, to help yourself, please think of the poor people
life, they may not afford a meal at hawker centres. And your logic
collapses. And if you say it is only few people in the whole of
singapore cannot afford a meal, I tell you one people is too many
for ministers drawing top dollars benchmarked to top profession's
pay. Do they want to benchmark with poor people
indicators?
