JANUARY 24 — I didn't agree with the recent broad lowering of the income tax as I didn't see the point of it but now I see that it was really a preparation to impose more taxes on a broader segment

Why tax the rich more when you can just make everything more expensive for everyone? It's really an indication of how the majority of our politicians are not middle-class as they seem to be oblivious about their hardships.

answer is simple: govt taking the simple easy way out
they know they can't tax the poor, cos they got no money. and will vote opposition if they are squeezed
they know they can't tax the rich, cos they are the rich themselves. they can't tax themselves
so what is left? the middle lor!
