I am amazed that the adults in SC are so 'innocent'Originally posted by Fatum:I'm paying approximately 40 already ...
it's really bad ... a friend of mine showed me his pay check for a month's work up north at the oil rigs ... 5k ... nice cheque ... but his pay before taxes was $12k ....
They actually believe in free lunches

where my free lunch ?

inside my tummy *burp*Originally posted by Ferret:where my free lunch ?

as long as this world is run by humans, there's no such thing as a free lunch... hahahaOriginally posted by elindra:I am amazed that the adults in SC are so 'innocent'

*breathe in breathe out*

the way i'm going, I'll probably be dead before 40Originally posted by Wanda:Why not, it's just another 18 years' wait or so.... -
Ya but there are ppl who think that by giving 'free' education ppl will have more babies and there will not be other implications involved like a jump in personal income taxOriginally posted by KittynMeow:as long as this world is run by humans, there's no such thing as a free lunch... hahaha
And then they forget that is the reason why a lot of rich actually want to park their money in Singapore because of the low income tax!!!
And it will lead to another chain of events like ppl who rationalize that why work hard since there will be free education and they just bum around while the rest subsidize them
Ok I'm really negative or maybe the MIW brainwashed me but after looking at the social benefits and models of other countries and how it is subjected to abuse, I really dun wanna be a slave to others who abuse the system and dun wanna work -

I'll rather collect unemployment benefits, evade taxes, or migrate if I had to pay 60% taxOriginally posted by elindra:Ya but there are ppl who think that by giving 'free' education ppl will have more babies and there will not be other implications involved like a jump in personal income tax

free lunches are only for the ministers and their croniesOriginally posted by Ferret:where my free lunch ? -
I think one thing the MIW did right was so that ppl will not have the crutch mentality but the thing is that there are so many who feel that the MIW should give out freebies and not expect to pay a cent for it from other means (income tax)
-
Precisely!Originally posted by av98m:I'll rather collect unemployment benefits, evade taxes, or migrate if I had to pay 60% tax
But the 'innocent' folks in SC can't see this pt
And can still ask if I'm trying to say that the ppl will be the one who end up subsidising
How come the world is so pretty to them
Or I'm just a cynic -
yes ... they got it right there ... self help is great ...Originally posted by elindra:I think one thing the MIW did right was so that ppl will not have the crutch mentality but the thing is that there are so many who feel that the MIW should give out freebies and not expect to pay a cent for it from other means (income tax)
but group help is not ... that 85 years old annuity scheme is a bad bad idea ...
it's good not to saddle the goverment with a high social cost, but to get other people to fund a collective welfare scheme, that is too much .... -
anyone interested to be part of some food tasting TV program?

Those ppl never studied econs? But even then...shd have the common sense to link it to taxes somehow...Originally posted by elindra:Precisely!

Ya la I don't agree on the 85 yr old annuity scheme too laOriginally posted by Fatum:yes ... they got it right there ... self help is great ...
but group help is not ... that 85 years old annuity scheme is a bad bad idea ...

But the high social cost thing is what they did right.
But I dunno leh. Apparently in a way they failed too coz it seems a lot of ppl in SC have the crutch mentality and honestly believe in free lunches
They quote beautiful examples without looking into the income tax of the countries involved
Then they get upset at you when you try to burst the bubble -
free food is good ...Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:its free! err.. u get free food!

No leh they don't have the sense to link it to taxesOriginally posted by Wanda:Those ppl never studied econs? But even then...shd have the common sense to link it to taxes somehow...
That is the scary part
Can somemore insist that it will be really free education
I know Christmas is round the corner but Santa is not that generous -
