TAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taxes and Open Road Toll Fees
People should not install the transponders but still use the highways and force the government to issue accounts and summonses to all motorists until such time they drop the prices. The government will be forced to send out millions of accounts every month and they don't have the man power to do it. This is the best and easiest way to boycott the system. What is the government going to do about motorists from other neighbouring countries that don't have these transponders?
South Africans are too complacent and its time we fight back. WE have paid for these roads. Now they are also proposing a 1% tax to fund SABC. If two people are working in one house hold how much is it going to cost?? Where is it going to stop?


Has anyone thought just how much tax we are already paying?

a. 35% on your salary
b.14% on everything you buy (bar fresh produce) and services rendered.
c. Carbon tax if you buy a new car (besides the 14% VAT you have to pay)
d. Tax on the fuel you put in your car to run it.
e. Toll on our roads – and for some it is going to come to a whopper of 10% of your salary (If you earn R10 000.00 a R1 000 would go toward tolling if you migrate between PTA and JHB every day.) – Bully to try and pacify me with the idea that I can claim it back from my income tax!!! I have to fork out the money first. Going on holiday to DBN? Remember to save up your R1000.00 for tolling.

To say the least – For every R10.00 you earn, the government is already taking approx R6.00 and still they want more. Are you happy with the R4.00 you are getting?

NICE!!!!!

When are we going to get up and do something about it? Where is all the money going to? It is definitely not being spent on what it should be – our hospitals are in a state of disrepair, our schools in shambles, our roads full of potholes, our water contaminated, sewers not working, left in the dark because Eskom failed to do their upgrades, the poor are poorer still, municipalities on the brink of collapse, and so the list goes on.

Heard about the youth day celebration that cost R100 million? Mmmm... did you pay for it? Oh yes sir/madam you did! R100 million that could have paid for a couple of things our country needed more. And to put the numbers in perspective:



The next time you hear an SA politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you wanted the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money.



A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its press releases.



A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.



B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.



C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.



D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.



E. A billion Rand ago was only 27 hours and 12 minutes at the rate our SA government is spending it.

DeadGoat - nothing in that quote is inaccurate. And it says fuckall about leaving the country. PE goverment(Read ANC) officials stole R800M from the schooling system. They dont care about their black brothers and sisters - no hang on - children! Only themselves and their big fat arses!
There are many more examples. Open your eyes and stop shouting racism all the time.

@jack, I didn't nor have I ever shouted racism. If he liked this country the way it was 20 years ago and hates the way it is now and who its run by (whatever the fuck that means), he can either start his own political party or leave the country.

I'm certainly not blind to the corruption that goes on in the ruling party, its just that the OP purposely neglects that the reason why "We had the largest middle class in Africa And Mum stayed home to raise the kids" was because the majority of the people in the country had absolutely nothing.

I have no problems with the topic, but I do have a problem with the poster ALWAYS trying to create a "them" against "us" slant to everything. This is a wonderful site and I'd hate to see it being turned into a soapbox for people to preach shit which they wouldn't have the balls to say in public. I'm not an overly PC person its just that I feel that the OP can have a moan about "who runs the country" on countless other sites. I'm sure some posters may share his views but is this site really the place to be sharing them?

Thats all that I'm saying

ok, enough... keep this on the topic of tax please... As I said earlier pay to caesar what is caesars, and if you can't afford to, earn more money...
