Im usually the funny guy who pokes fun at most things. Lately though, after snickering for a few seconds at the hilarious posts on soc med , especially Bitoy's latest impersonation of a plunderer..i mean, contractor, (i swear Bitoy is prettier) I seem to lose my humour realizing the gravity of the situation.
If you're a person who religiously pays your taxes, allow me to ruin your day a bit:
Check out your APRIL Income Tax Return Form 2316 and look at item 26 - Total Amount of Taxes Withheld. I bet its a small fortune right?
With that amount, you could have bought a brand new sedan..or paid off your home loan..
Now, look back last month and add up all your expenses.. Utility bills, Groceries, Gas, and everyrhing else you paid money for. Then multiply that amount by 12% (VAT) and again multiply it by 12 months... Its a significant amount as well right? You could have used that for your kid's tuition.
But no. That small fortune on your ITR, that big amount you paid for VAT, it all went to line the pockets of Corrupt Plunderers and insatiable pigs...intead of being used for the benefit of the working class and the general public.
No wonder we never graduated from being the "Sick Man of Asia".
Now look at those posts and memes again.
Still funny?
I thought so.
