Welfare Society coming to us soon...we are in good hands

[k1976]

The Government would, over time, have to collect taxes for healthcare to take care of an older population but it cannot simply be that, Mr Tharman said. This is why it is important for every individual to take responsibility for other people's welfare.

As every society gets older, we need something more than self-reliance, more than just personal responsibility that remains across the foundation of our social culture," said Mr Tharman.

He said that in his many years in politics, he has learned that most people appreciate deeply when there are others around them who are willing to help, and this in turn makes them take even more responsibility for themselves without having to be dependent on others.

He said: "There has to be solidarity. There has to be social empathy. Social empathy and solidarity are not at odds with personal responsibility. In fact, they go very well together."

One way of achieving this is to pay more taxes to the Government, which finds a way to subsidise people, Mr Tharman said.

This is a practice in many countries, but it creates a different spirit in society as the ability to hand out benefits becomes transactional, and it would mean higher taxes for everyone, including the middle class, he added.

A government that is big enough to give you everything you want, is also big enough to take everything away.

Can start by raising personal and corporate income tax. Make FTs and their masters pay for all the trouble they cause.

Rational behind is clear. You need subsidise, we need to tax you further.

But how much is enough ? How much does your medicine costs, how much does your land costs ? How much does the specialists need to be paid in order to get them moving ?
