Expect a 2% VAT increase

[dontcryforme]

Yes, let's hope it's this.

Then we can call @dontcryforme a liar again.

Until then I am both and neither at the same time

Pushing rumours of 2% so that we will only mildly grumble when it is 1%

They jumped the gun.
It has been rejected by all the other parties.
Not carved in stone yet.

Yes and no, they usually have it prepared and make the links visible to the public the second the FM starts with the budget speech - they never had to worry about losing the vote on the budget before, now they do. Now things don't work like it used to.

They "assumed" everyone would roll over and accept it.
They forgot they only 40% now.

any sort of increase on VAT would crush an already unstable economy. I know these words would fall on dumb ears but hey I said it. ****en commies

Mmm I love the smell of a GNU cookin'

I just knew this was in the works. HAHAHA! When I read they're thinking about putting more items on the VAT exempt list - I knew.

 

[hj007]

So I don't get what's actually happening here, either:
1. The DA knew about the VAT increase before and were unhappy the ANC was pushing it through regardless, ie the GNU is dysfunctional.
2. The DA didn't know and the budget was going to be passed without discussing internally, ie the GNU is dysfunctional.

I can't really see how this is a good thing? Or are we saying that it's a ploy to only push 1% VAT increase? either way the country seems bankrupt... what happens if they don't pass a budget by 1 April?

You should've shared your wisdom earlier then I could have been spared the MBB crazies...

Its like the ANC were sitting in cabinet saying "You all have a copy of the budget in front of you. We have prepared the budget and everyone likes it so we are going to announce it tom----" and they were just getting glared at by the other 60%
