Gov so rich take more instead of returning the money-Why?

anyone care to explain?

I guess the peasants cannot answer your questions.
You have to buy a $45 dollar ticket for the chingay parade to ask the wayang poodles that are being paid high salaries for doing hip-hop instead of solving some basic people problems.
Or else you can go down to the big garden in orchard road to ask the most highly paid man in planet earth why he deserved to be paid so much for not bring any value or building any vision for the lion city.
The peasants is simply too ignorant and stupid to answer your questions as they are too busy finding out how to pay their debts and at the same time creating more debts. -
OUCH!

I think the answers are obvious to most Singaporeans and we're sick of repeating ourselves. Government insists they are (always) right, of course. They claim we choose to make ourselves unhappy, you see.. a claim which is only partially true.
That's why I'm wishing the PAP best of luck in cleaning up their own mess in 5-10 years' time, don't say we didn't warn you, kthxbye. -

You can never be too rich.
I just hope they're stocking up; because their downfall is so fucking near.

But so many people are suffering and if you become rich from your own efforts, it's ok I guess, and if you become rich taking from people and make them suffer than where is the honor of being an "elite"?Originally posted by missqi:You can never be too rich.

The key is to take a serious look at the rising cost which is killing everyone.
No point giving a few miserable dollars and make a lot of 'positive' noise about it on the paper. (It is insulting when the comment pple make - given hundred to pay for thousand dollars debt and being 'grateful')
Cos you will be taking back more.
Instead of geuninely 'serving' the peasants, the poodle are too busy s-ucking up to their master and giving themselves to get a pay rise.
It is just a simple vicious cycle of GREED.
Just like Peanut man for crediting himself for generating so much funds. -
Last year when I studied Venice hor, they say one of the fall of Venice is cause by Corruption in the government.
The Senate began to choose candidates for important government posts based on the candidates ability to pay the highest price for the post.
Well, the politician account were never revealed, we didn't know if the really practice such things.
And I thought we should have a FAIR ELECTORAL SYSTEM.
The rise of Venice is due to this system.
Election process ensured that:
(1) no individual or family dominates the government.
(2) nepotism would not develop. POWER and RESPONSIBILITIES were spread. Noble families were not allowed to have more than one member in the Ducal Council or important Nominating Committee. -

In ONE WORD - DEMOCRACY otherwise sooner or later everyone suffers. Why liddat? Why can't they be like those "Good Emperors" of China? Why must they
be the oppressive "Bad Emperors" and
"burn books" (destroy freedom of speech and press);
tekan the thinkers (like Prof Francis Seow, Harvard University); (like one time Prof Dr Chee Soon Juan, NUS)
place a heavy (hidden) tax burden on the people?
sianz much much...
Francis Seow is a Singapore-born political dissident who is in self-imposed exile from Singapore. He was educated at Saint Joseph's Institution in Singapore and at the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple in London. Seow is currently a United States citizen, and a University Fellow based in the Department of Asian Studies at Harvard University.

There are three classes of men - lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, lovers of gain. -plato
You have to find out what class of people is ruling us? Which one over us will cause people's suffering? -
the more they take, the better their results, the more the pay. so freaking simple.
u had wonder, what they do with all the funds and reserves they get? want take so much $ for what? they will most likely not get the mandate anymore the next GE. so what is the $ going to be used? -
66% given thier votes to PAP not because PAP are good is because people felt that they have no better choices. If these 66% are exposed to truths that are discussed here, do you think most of them still want to support PAP?Originally posted by bladez87:the more they take, the better their results, the more the pay. so freaking simple.

Imagine the media is not controlled by the government do you think PAP can survive? Our nation needs virtuous people not cunning people. We need someone virtuous to spearhead a party so that people will place thier vote on them instead of someone who only care of thier own gains.
Get a selfless and wise king and you will have many wise servants serving the nation. -

ur last sentence is not true as well, having a selfless and wise king doesnt mean the servants r wise, the servants will still engage in corruption, etc -
If the truth were self-evident, eloquence would be unnecessary.Originally posted by sad...:the truth is, even if those 66 percent are exposed to truths discussed here, most of them will still PAP, i tried telling te truth to my teacher, my mother, but the reasons i get r always the oppositon r bad, the govt r doing it for our own gd, they ask me to think positvely and so on

In that case i think they have not exposed to truth. You are too underestimate what the real wise person can do. -
Because they can.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:anyone care to explain? -
well look at OM, lionnoisy, stupidissmart, etc, they are exposed to the truth, but they still support the PAP, they will never wake up no matter how much u tell them.Originally posted by (human):If the truth were self-evident, eloquence would be unnecessary.

a wise person cant do much if he is alone against many selfish ppl, even if he is the king, there would still be ppl defying him, trying to usrup his throne etc -
There are people that support them because you and them are looking from different perspectives.That is why P*P controls the mass media, to sell everyone their perspective. Unfortunately, after a while they buy into their own cr*p and lose touch with reality.Originally posted by sad...:well look at OM, lionnoisy, stupidissmart, etc, they are exposed to the truth, but they still support the PAP, they will never wake up no matter how much u tell them.

1 thing doesn't work is reward on having 2 and 3 child, which mean as "take more instead of returning" still apply here.
