High taxes

15 Jul, 2008

It is a shame that a government that has come to power on the votes of the middle class and the poor is trying to crush them with higher taxes. Not only that, but the prices of every day necessities have rocketed sky high while the ministers are gallivanting around the world at the taxpayers' expenses.
The latest is the increase of taxes under the guise of federal excise duty from 15% to 21% on all security agencies. The government cannot protect their own citizens from lawlessness yet when the citizens make their own arrangements the government taxes them. Can the government tell the citizens what services they extend by this tax? It is nothing else but highway robbery. They should not forget that sooner or later they would face elections. Then they will see that they land on top of the dustbin of history.
