yang mga bwa*#%$* mga politiko na yan, sila ang mga nagpapahirap sa atin, mga kurakot yang mga put*#*^ mga yan, yang buwis na ibinabayad natin, halos sa bulsa lang nila napupunta. buhay pa yang mga yan, sinusunog na ang kaluluwa sa impyerno...

Ayun, yung tax natin, napunta na sa mga mayors, FG Arroyo, at kay BF, nasa Las Vegas na sila, manonood ng laban ni Pacman.

Sabi ni BF, kani-kaniyang gastos daw sila, galing sa sarili nilang bulsa. (Lokohin niyo lelong niyong panot! ). Or, sponsored sila ng mga gambling lords?

Sarap ng buhay nila!

Sinong tarantado ang nag-propose niyan?

[falken]

Bakit di muna nila ayusin ang tax collection ng BIR? Dagdag ng dagdag sila ng mga new taxes dahil sa kapalpakan ng BIR, lalo lang nilang pinapahirapan ang mga tao.
Another band aid approach by some dumbass politician.

Okay guys, calm down... I finally bought a copy of Business World, weekend edition.

The tax is a proposed emergency tax, to be activated once certain economic factors are met. But unlike the E-VAT, those statistical factors are not going to be met for a long while yet. According to Congress, this is so that there will be no political repercussions for the administration in power at the time... the tax activates only if it is needed (daw).

The tax will be just like the tax now imposed on savings accounts. O.2%. Taken in that light, it's not going to hurt us small fish that much, but it's projected to be able to generate maybe 12-13 billion pesos in years when it is activated.

Still don't like it... but it is written reasonably enough such that it might be passed.

Bank account withdrawal tax, text messaging tax, ano pa ba iniisip ng gobyerno natin?

"Thumb tax?"

[RedHorse]

thanks niky...

but it still puzzles me why the story was taken out from its online edition...

[niky]

To surprise us? Anyway, now that I know it's 0.2%, I'm not worried about it... I'm already getting taxed out of my accounts, so it's liveable.
