ThisIsOurs 10 years, 1 month ago on PM named one of Jones Communications' persons of the year for VAT introduction

For VAT introduction? These stupid awards handouts need to stop. The first question to be asked when the award is presented is, "why weren't you present for the vote on the VAT legislation? Is it true you were in Vegas celebrating a birthday while new taxes were being put on the people? Anyway congratulations on your award for demonstrating political will"

JohnDoe 10 years, 1 month ago on PM named one of Jones Communications' persons of the year for VAT introduction

You cannot make this stuff up! At a time when we have over 25% of the population unemployed or underemployed, when GDP growth is expected to be negligible for the foreseeable future, when our credit rating is one notch above junk status, when government spending is out of control and projected to explode with NHI, when the balance of trade deficit is growing each year and national savings are at an all time low with consumers taking on credit just to make ends meet the PM is voted person of the year for introducing a regressive consumption tax which will exacerbate all of the aforementioned issues. What a joke and what is so sad is that the joke is on us.

Economist 10 years, 1 month ago on Drop in charity donations during Christmas season

That is because the government has taken those monies in the form of Vat and higher taxes.

If they introduce NHI next year there won't be any donations as the government will have squeezed the lemon dry.
