Hi!members i just received following letter from someone. Read it and post ur opinion.
I'd like to ask a few questions back to this minister.
1. If he thinks the burmese overseas are cheating on income tax, does he think that he's being very honest with his income tax too?
2. The tax paid by a minister like him and and by an average burmese worker working abroad, who's is more?
3. If he assumes that annual increment of the overseas workers are 10% and impose this law, does he also think a bit about what he'll do for the workers if they don't really get this much?
4. Does this clever minister also knows that a lot of workers are underpaid, work under extreme conditions and overdeclared their salaries to get work permits from both governments?
5. If he's so concerned about the families back home, why would he require people with whole families abroad to pay 50% too? Does he knows such families have absolutely no savings?
6. If he wants to fight back hondies and make favour to the workers,why doesn't he allow people to make a free choice? (Who the hell would go and pay hondies if there's a fairer alternative?)
7. If he has really good will to the families back home, why not allow them to use dollars as is, rather than exchanging with arbitrary papers with no guaranteed value?
8. Has he ever heard of any government that thinks people are so stupid not knowing what to do with half of their salaries that the government has to decide for them?
9. If he thinks the government has half the right on our salaries (on top of taxes), does he not think that we should have half the right on its decisions?
10. If he thinks we're half stupid, well... what should we think of him?
