You're probably wondering 'why should I pay taxes, it's just going to corrupt politicians'. While that is partly true, it is also true that taxes (and in the absence of sufficient taxes, debt) was used to pay for many subsidies that we enjoyed. Up until fuel prices were revised

@ChayuDamsinghe @GehanDG A rough calculation of how tax changes will be applied

[Rehana Thowfeek | Free Palestine 🇵🇸 🇱🇰 @RegularReh]

If we don't pay taxes there are 2 options. 1) print money which will lead to more inflation, eat away your purchasing power, savings etc. 2) govt will borrow and accumulate interest, which will eventually need to be paid with either more taxes, more printing or more borrowing.
