No welfarism for the people or lowering of fees of essential
government services like transportation or medicare - no way as it
will lead us down the slippery slope of no return and that is what
our leaders say.
Welfarism for the MPs, Ministers and elites in various GLCs for
bill collector jobs - this is okay, this is different from welfare
when we pay the 2-term ministers and MPs to stay at home to receive
S$1,000,000,000.00 in lifelong pensions for the next 25-35 years at
taxpayers' expense, that is peanuts considering that these elites
are helping citizens to lower costs of living and reaching Swiss
standard of living or creating more jobs for the locals.
So who is practising welfarism. Is lifelong pensions for MPs and
ministers welfarism?
One would have thought that the losses on Shin Corp or Souzhou is
some kind of welfare for foreigners like Thaksin or the mainland
Chinese.
People have asked for part of the MPs' and Ministers' pension to be
put into endowment fund to ease the high costs of living of people
or upgrade business competitiveness.
These people's view to put the surpluses of the people to good use
were considered welfarism I suppose as so far there is no reply
from the post 65s MPs or the younger Ministers.
