I don't see the benefit of SDP's proposal at all.
Why go towards a welfare state when it has been shown to be a failure in UK and Canada?
The SDP model is definite nonsense. It calls for a cut of more than 5 billion from defence, increase of corporate tax and introduction of luxury tax, all hallmarks of liberalism.
What happens when there is less stability, less investment and increased unemployment then? SDP propose even more luxury tax to increase the tax base and even less spending on defence?
If people want to be generous towards the poor and needy, let them be generous with their own money and not force govt to use other people's money to be generous while they pay nothing much.
and this is what Denise Phua Chee Bye say in her budget speech:
Denise Phua Chee Bye said:Sir, I would like to make five recommendations for DPM's consideration to further improve the Budget provisions:
1. Make Special Employment Credit (SEC) PERMANENT for the Elderly and the Disabled
2. EXPAND the SEC to Cover More Persons with Disabilities (PWDs)
3. Strengthen Singapore's Progressive Nature of the Personal Income Taxation Structure
4. Review Budget Allocation, in particular, Defence
5. Establish an Agency to Focus and Nurture Local Small and Medium Enterprises
I would like to propose 2 ideas to fund the increasing social service expenditures. One, through personal income taxes payable by higher-income wage earners and two, through budget re-allocation, in particular, defence.
4. Review Budget Allocation, in particular, Defence Another suggestion I would like to propose to help fund future social needs is to review the traditional way the Budget is allocated
Sir, defence traditionally consumes the highest proportion of total Government expenditure each year. This year's allocation, for instance, represents 25% of total budget and even sees an increase of 4.3% from last year.
.
this is his pathetic arguements
Asking for higher tax is different from asking for more spending.
In the case of Denise, the focus was on taxation while the claim and focus by Chen was not adequate spending which he can't even be specific. Its a shame
this is what a sinking about-to-be-fired PAP IB look like
Read my post again. I said focus didn't I. Can't you read?
I said focus yo dummy. can't you read?
I have heard her speech. You don't know what is focus?
this PAP scum is not even right wing enough... trying out right me... go fuck yourself
