I dont think the government is interested to tell you how you should spend your money, what I am saying is that you just have accept the fact that cost of living in all parts of the world is rising, unless you are saying that you want to buy yourself a an island and call yourself a King.Originally posted by Fingolfin_Noldor:So what is your point, we should gleefully donate to the Govt all our monies? Is that what you are trying to say? Cos, Aside from pushing out all these examples which are utterly meaningless, you haven't told us anything useful.
And while we "donate" our cash, the Govt pats itself on the back and the ministers get handsome salaries. Heck, cut their pay in half, and you probably save a few million dollars. -
Oh definitely. Which is why I'm calling on him to address this. He says we ought to tax this tax that then says it will be useful blah blah blah.Originally posted by ShutterBug:Yah I regard GE as some kind of wayang...
And I heard that even if the votes aren't in favor of PAP, our old chief will call in the Army...
What do we call that??
Then he says democracy is a futile exercise. How about it? Save some tens of thousands and not waste a single penny on a useless exercise that will gain us nothing. Plus, no chaos. Constant head of state. Every one just kowtow or be a "quiter". -
Oh no, you just told us that the Govt tax this tax that to control how we spent our money. Isn't that what you just said? Hmm?Originally posted by Gazelle:I dont think the government is interested to tell you how you should spend your money, what I am saying is that you just have accept the fact that cost of living in all parts of the world is rising, unless you are saying that you want to buy yourself a an island and call yourself a King.
Costs of living in the world rising? Of course. There's inflation. But here in Singapore, a tiny increase is a big affair with already the high costs of buying a roof to live under. -
I think most elections in the world are all wayang, some hollywood, some bollywood, some using taiwan soap opera.Originally posted by ShutterBug:Yah I regard GE as some kind of wayang...

gov only focus on increasing costs... but little or nothing is done to help people make ENOUGH to match COSTS....instead, they introduce FJRs (Foreign Job Robbers)....
This is the point... -

So did the Budget 2007 say that they are going to give back the money they took from Singaporeans or make the elderly work so they can take some more
OR continue to use the money they took and are going to take some more to invest in "Shin Corps"?
Don't bother to tell me, I will just use my common sense.
