I AM impressed... they're so smart now, I think the amount of knowledge they have at age 12 is what I had at age 16. I just hope they're not missing out on what they won't be able to obtain when the years pass over. -

I want your opinion on why LHL offered to freeze his salary increase. And why other ministers did not offer to do that.
Give me something to laugh this time please. -
Ive got a big hole in my pocket ... All unwittingly contributed to the govt taxes directly/indirectly ... What say you ?Originally posted by Mat Toro:you are well and alive, so how could the govt have sucked your blood dry? -
I help him say:Originally posted by Trump_Card:Ive got a big hole in my pocket ... All unwittingly contributed to the govt taxes directly/indirectly ... What say you ?
This is because you are not good enough.
I help you say:
We work harder and earn more, we pay more taxes because taxing as a percentage of salary increases. -
And they make alot of noise in this forum.Originally posted by Mat Toro:tell her there are many losers in Singapore who refuse to work hard and want a welfare state. -
wrong mentality. You have a big hole in your pocket because you made bad decisions in your life. Other tax payers shldn't bail you out.Originally posted by Trump_Card:Ive got a big hole in my pocket ... All unwittingly contributed to the govt taxes directly/indirectly ... What say you ? -

Like choosing to stay in Singapore instead of moving to some other countries where YOUR taxes go into YOUR benefits instead of directly into the political elites' pockets?

why suddenly stop the trend of 'tell her'?
-
Tell her that the government can pay themselves anything and the people cannot do anything.
Tell her that ironfist rule is good and that she must be like them. Step over all people, regardless of race, language or religion. -
Say no to idiots like Mat Toro aka the ignorant one.Originally posted by Mat Toro:Just say NO to welfare state!

thats is true if you consider that funding the war on Iraq and using tax payers' money to support foreign debt are benefits and if you intend to be stuck at the bottom of the lower income group for the rest of your working life.Originally posted by rooki:Like choosing to stay in Singapore instead of moving to some other countries where YOUR taxes go into YOUR benefits instead of directly into the political elites' pockets? -
Expect them to fall at the next elections.
