You are going to pay for the corruption at SOEs

Tito can get properly fscked on that one....

Fix the problems (or show SOME bloody progress in fixing the problems) then we can discuss increasing taxes, or a tax levy...

If they fix the problems, there will be a crapload of excess money to go around and taxes will be lowered. We are one of the highest taxed countries in the world.

Clearly it's not the see you next Tuesdays doing the stealing who are going to pay. So lets see, who else could it be?

We need Judge Dredd to sort everything out.

Judge Dredd for president!

If they tax us more there will be people like me who will just quit working altogether and just live off savings. Why work 40+ hours a week when the government takes half and you get nothing back... Tax revenue will drop even with higher tax rates as less people will be contributing to the economy once many stop working.

Also more tax means less money to spend so less VAT paid and less boosting of businesses revenue/profits. So businesses also pay less tax.

Already a measly $40 item plus a bit of profit, cost more than that combined in time and petrol, to get it through customs. Everything was done by the book though. Seems that got the business owner to changing his business model. He's contemplating retiring and saying FU to all this. These guys are desperate for money, they're eating the goose that lays the golden eggs.
