Why is everyone complaining about the GST hike? Our infallible and altruistic government is only doing it to help the poor.

[/sarcasm]

av98m SG

They're asking the supplier to absorb for them

kopiosatu SG

i had a good sleep, that's why i'm so hyper now.

bah, i think i'll go top up petrol in a while.

fudgester SG

I still have yet to hear a satisfactory explanation as to how a increasing a regressive tax which places a greater burden on the poor can actually help the poor.

When I tried to ask for an explanation in the relevant Speaker's Corner thread, I was labelled as a 'textbook idiot' for trying to use GCE A Level Econs to explain what a regressive tax is all about and why GST is such a tax.

Oh well. Each to his own.

At least being a 'textbook idiot' keeps me honest. Laughing

sbst275 SG

In the 1st place, the poor dun spend much...

I believe those are high spenders and dun earn much.. maybe they could want more $$

av98m SG

Well, I'm off to bed.

Hopefully the weather will be good tomorrow morning for some insect and flower porn Mr. Green

stellazio SG

ya like real, 2% increase to help the poor. if you watched cna ytd, the 2% increase is equivalent to 1.5b sgd a year. perhaps they feel that their own ministers are poor and need higher salaries. Laughing
