This is an article written by a taxpayer in South Africa. He is furious about the increased tax and describes his anger as an anger that is hard to explain, that it is not one of those hot angers that go away in a flash , but an anger that is like a hot bed of coal, burning without a flame, waiting to consume any piece of fuel that may come close.
He says, for decades citizen have had to watch as the South African government has taken their tax and squandered it on the bridges that collapse, fraudulent tenders and it all culminating in our late president who has sold our nation to various friends and relatives. All these activities have been paid by them, the citizen on this nation. He believes it was not only paid for with their tax money, but with their hopes, dreams and in many cases, lives.
He complains that they have had to endure paying for services which are always delivered in a fraudulent, inefficient manner, or not even delivered at all. He also feels that the government doesn't care as after paying well over a decade for misconduct of our government , Mr Gigaba explained that he was expected to pay even more and that this somehow gives them hope, he says, he was not filled with hope but anger as he looked at the husk of his small company and the words that came out of Mr Gigaba's mouth.
He wishes Mr President would have gone before the nation on his knees and apologised on behalf of the government for years of people being forced to pay for the government's misdeeds and now having to pay even more.
I truly understand the anger of the author, it is disturbing and saddening that citizen pay large amounts of tax and yet we get very little in return. I wish the government becomes more efficient as taxpayers have less money now. They cannot be paying and not see any progress. As much as I would like the tax rate to be eased, I know its not possible as it is necessary.
Tittle: Dear Mr Ramaphosa, allow me to express my anger

ReplyDeleteTaxpayers will be affected negatively their incomes will decrease while those who receive social grants and old age grant are going to receive increase I do understand why taxpayers are angry.
ReplyDeleteThis is true. His anger is very much understandable. This increase of taxpayers is going to affect the working class in a very negative way, as if it is not already suffering enough.
ReplyDeleteIt really feels futile to cry or complain about matters that will never change, the ball is Mr President's court. We need to see change
