窮會是這樣嗎

After reading this 窮會是這樣嗎？ | 香港獨立媒體, I watched the 星期日檔案 - 十五歲的夢.

Those recourse to government fund can have time off to go overseas for holidays, entitled to 6 pairs of spectacles claims every year. Now, kids can go to all non essential enrichment classes, have private music lessons………………… money??? No problem, all from government’s pocket.

Where’s the government money from?? From our income tax + stamp duty + all sorts of miscellaneous taxes. Yet the poor taxpayer (especially us, the ‘entry level’ tax payer), have to fork out own $$$ to supplement travelling needs, self improvement needs.. etc etc.

Singapore not better than HK either, owner of bigger houses get less rebates on fees than smaller houses. Common sense can tell bigger houses will house MORE people, so the owner has to stretch their $$$ more. Smaller house owners may make less money, but they have these from the government: no tax + subsidies on fees + food vouchers + transport vouchers.

So.. let’s put in less effort, do less work, because the lazier you are, more $$$ will come.
